This online news platform understands that the Trade Union Congress (TUC) also confirmed the peace pact.
The TUC confirmed the peace pact in a statement issued by its President Quadri Olaleye, and the Secretary-General, Musa-Lawal Ozigi.
In the statement, the TUC commended the Federal Government and labour for their patience while the National Minimum Wage negotiations lasted.
The statement read, “We commend the Head of Service of the Federation, Dr Folashade Yemi-Esan, and her team for their sincerity.
“Though they argued that the government could not afford to meet our earlier demand of N30,000 minimum wage across board because of the economic situation in the country, we made them understand that some people could not be more Nigerian than others.
“If we are tightening our belts, government should also do so,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, Naija News learned that salaries of workers on grade level 07, according to the new template, as agreed at 23.2 per cent; grade level 08 at 20 per cent; grade level 09 at 19 per cent; from grade level 10 – 14 at 16 per cent and from grade level 15 – 17 at 14 per cent.
Present at the meeting were Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, his State Minister, Festus Keyamo, NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, TUC President, Quadri Olaleye, and Head of Service of the federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan.
