The Organised Labour has urged President Bola Tinubu to consider consulting and reaching an agreement with its leadership before transmitting the proposed bill on the new minimum wage to the National Assembly.

This was as the union admitted that their much-anticipated meeting of the National Executive Committee, which will accommodate about 300 Labour leaders, is being stalled by Tinubu’s delay in forwarding the bill.

In his Democracy Day broadcast,the President had announced that a consensus had been reached between the Federal Government and Labour on the new minimum wage, a claim both the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress debunked.

Tinubu also assured that an executive bill would soon be sent to the National Assembly to formalise the agreement, emphasising his administration’s preference for a democratic approach over dictatorship in dealing with labour matters.

But almost a month after his speech,nothing has been done.

One of the key leaders of the congress, who preferred not to be mentioned, expressed disappointment over the development in an exclusive phone interview with Newsmen.

The source, however, ruled out the option of the strike should the FG stick to the N62,000 it earlier proposed.
