FG urges Labour to settle for what will not undermine economy

The Federal Government has urged the organised labour to settle for what would not undermine the nation’s economy, and in turn, lead to mass retrenchment.
The media aide to the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris made the appeal in a statement on Wednesday.
Idris acknowledged the government’s commitment to reviewing the minimum wage but cautioned against demands that could harm the economy.
He highlighted the government’s efforts to reduce the cost of living and increase Nigerians’ purchasing power through programmes like the Presidential CNG initiative, which aims to cut transportation costs by 50 percent
Idris urged labour unions to understand that the relief that Nigerians are expecting will not come only in the form of an increase in wages.
