Discussions between the Federal Government and the Organised Labour on Thursday, over the new national minimum wage did not yield a consensus, prompting both parties to extend discussions into next week.

President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday, invited the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) to a meeting at the State House with the aim of further discussing the much anticipated new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.

But, DailySun gathered that by the end of the meeting, no agreement had been reached as both parties stuck to their positions.

While Labour unions argue for a new wage reflecting current economic challenges like inflation and recent policy changes, the government and private sector insist that they can only afford N62,000.
