The Lagos State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has demanded N200,000 as the national minimum wage following the removal of fuel subsidy.
It was gathered that an NLC leader stated this during the protest which started under Ikeja under-bridge in Lagos.
HE SAID,
“The cost of living is very high and people are dying every day.
“We have decided to go to Abuja to discuss with the government constructively by tendering our charter of demands which includes the national minimum wage to be put forward as N200,000, the four refineries must work and Labour to be part of the supervisory committee.”
