FG’s N35,000 wage award to continue till new minimum wage.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) stated that the N35,000 wage award agreement with the Federal Government of Nigeria will continue until a new minimum wage is established. The agreement, which was struck to alleviate the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy, was approved by President Bola Tinubu on October 1, with the promise of a provisional wage increase for all Treasury-paid workers for six months. However, the federal government has only paid two months of the wage award since its implementation in September 2023.
