The Federal Government through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, has agreed with organised labour for need for wage increments over the industrial action embarked upon by workers.

The meeting was attended by the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero; Minister of Information and Orientation, Mohammed Idris; and Minister of Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Hon. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha.

As part of the outcome of the meeting, the government side promised that President Bola Tinubu would accede to a wage that is over N60,000 and not victimise any worker involved in the strike action.
