NLC Demands N200,000 Minimum Wage

The Nigeria Labour Congress NLC has demanded N200,000 as the national minimum wage.

This was disclosed during NLC nationwide protest going on in Lagos. The protesters on Wednesday converged on the Ikeja under-bridge in Lagos State.

Blaze Newz recalls that the NLC had given the government a seven-day ultimatum with threats of a nationwide strike which started today, Wednesday, August 2, 2023.

Speaking in the video, one of the protesters said that the cost of living has gone up and people are dying out of hunger.

He said, “The cost of living is very high and people are dying every day.

“We have decided to go to Abuja to discuss with the government constructively by tendering our charter of demands which includes the national minimum wage to be put forward as N200,000, the four refineries must work and Labour to be part of the supervisory committee.”
