Amidst the Brouhaha and back and forth of the New Minimum wage between the Federal Government and the NLC and TUC, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that, all is not well.
Jkcyno blog earlier reported that FG comes up with a Ridiculous Minimum wage for NLC.
The Federal Government has released their own official report from the tripartite committee.

“Statement by the Tripartite Committee on Minimum wage
6.6 Recommendations of a New National Minimum Wage
6.6.1 The Proposed New National Minimum Wage
Having critically examined the National Minimum Wage using all necessary parameters, and having applied the social, economic and political considerations, as well as relevant ILO Conventions and international best practices, the Committee agreed that:
(i) there is need for an upward review of the present National Minimum Wage;
(ii) the advantages of the upward review of the National Minimum Wage outweigh the disadvantages; and
6.6.2 in view of the above, the Committee kindly invites Mr. President to:
i. note that the Committee adopted the motion proposing N62,000 (sixty-two thousand naira) per month as a new National Minimum Wage having considered all other factors; and
