Breaking: Buhari Inaugurates Pepple-Led Minimum Wage Committee

Abuja, Nigeria - President Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated a new minimum wage committee, led by the Chairman of the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, Richard E. E. Egbule, with the former Head of Service of the Federation, Adamu Adamu, as its secretary.

The committee, which was inaugurated on Monday at the State House, Abuja, has a 30-day deadline to submit its report to the President.

The committee is tasked with reviewing the current minimum wage of N18,000 and making recommendations to the President on a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.

The committee is also expected to consider the submissions made by various stakeholders, including labour unions, employers' associations, and government agencies, during the public hearing on the minimum wage review.

The inauguration of the committee comes on the heels of a long-standing demand by Nigerian workers for a new minimum wage, which has been pegged at N30,000 by the labour unions.

The President, while inaugurating the committee, urged its members to work diligently and make recommendations that would be beneficial to Nigerian workers and the economy.

"I urge you to work together to achieve a consensus on a new minimum wage that is fair and reasonable," President Buhari said.

The committee is expected to submit its report to the President within the next 30 days, after which the President will make a final decision on the new minimum wage.

The inauguration of the committee is seen as a major step towards resolving the long-standing issue of minimum wage review in Nigeria, which has been a major source of tension between the government and labour unions.
