The Federal Government says it would consider the list of demands from the Trade Union Congress TUC which includes minimum wage and the practicability of the demands.

Speaking to State House correspondents after a meeting yesterday between the Federal Government and the TUC which lasted for about three hours, the spokesperson for the Federal government, Dele Alake, said among things the government was considering is tax holidays for workers.

Alake said that most fundamentally President Bola Tinubu would constitute a tripartite committee to include states and organized labour and the private sector to study the dynamics of the minimum wage augmentation to reach an amicable conclusion.

He added that there is no disagreement with the Nigeria Labor Congress NLC over their demand for a review of the minimum wage or a return to the status quo, noting that the FG representatives would meet with the President to form decisions on the demands, while the TUC through its President Festus Osifo, said the union is hopeful as the Federal Government promised to look into their demands.
