A special Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari in the State House has failed to conclude decision on the national minimum wage.
Apparently due to the importance of governors to the national minimum wage issue, the council resolved that it would take final decision on it after the National Executive Council (NEC), a body of governors presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, would have deliberated over the matter.
Disclosing this after the meeting, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, admitted that the matter of minimum wage was deliberated upon at the FEC meeting, but declined answering questions on deliberations on the issue.
On Monday, the organised labour staged nationwide protests to compel the federal government to send a bill which provides for N30,000 as the new minimum wage to the National Assembly.
