The Nigeria Labour Congress has rejected the Federal Government’s decision to delay negotiations for a new national minimum wage until June 2027, insisting that preparations must begin immediately.

NLC and the government are also clashing over petrol prices and tax relief. Labour has warned of a possible strike if its demands are not addressed.

The standoff comes amid broader debates about the cost of living and the economic reforms introduced since 2023.
