The House of Representatives resolved on Thursday to interface with the Nigeria Labour Congress ( NLC) over the threat by organised labour to embark on an industrial action over a new minimum wage.

The deputy speaker, Benjamin Kalu, who presided over Thursday’s plenary, said the leadership of the House will meet with the leadership of organised labour on the minimum wage issue and report back to the House within one week.
