The Federal Government of Nigeria has called on labour unions to continue negotiations regarding the new minimum wage.
The appeal, issued by Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, on Monday at a press conference in Abuja, emphasises the government’s commitment to achieving a peaceful and mutually beneficial outcome.
Idris highlighted the recent efforts by both the National Assembly and the government to engage with the Labour Unions.
He reiterated FG’s openness to dialogue, stressing the importance of a collaborative approach.
“We will continue to engage and continue to make ourselves very available in the context of these negotiations on behalf of the Nigerian people.
“Let me make it clear that we are not opponents on this negotiating table. We are united by the fact that we want the best for the Federal Republic of Nigeria and all 200 million citizens of the country,” Idris stated.
He underscored the need for a balanced and realistic resolution, noting the significant implications of labour’s current proposal.
