The federal government of Nigeria has slated January 23 to commence the process of review of the Nationa Minimum Wage in Nigeria.
This was made known by Emmanuel Njoku, spokesperson National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC).
Njoku said they decided to review the national minimum wage after holding series of training and meetings in preparation for nationwide monitoring of the act.
According to Njoku, he said; “The exercise will enlighten the public and private employers and organisations on the economic benefits of adhering to the payment of the national minimum wage.
“It will also help in obtaining baseline data on remuneration policies and practices of private sector organisations to enrich the commission’s data bank on staff compensation.
“The monitoring exercise will cover the 36 states of the federation including the federal capital territory.”
