Worker, employer and government delegates from the ILO’s 187 Member States will tackle a wide range of issues that have a long-term impact on the world of work.
The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, has said the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway will give 30 million people improved access to production and marketing centres.
This is in fulfilment of the promise made by Governor Godwin Obaseki to increase the minimum wage from N40,000 to N70,000, beginning this May, as part of efforts to cushion the impacts of the harsh economy
The Organised Labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) rejected the offer of the Federal Government to pay ₦60,000 as new minimum wage.
Amadi said that contrary to the fear that the minimum wage would lead to labour loss, it would actually enhance labour productivity, address poverty as well as lead to sustainable economic growth.
