Moves to arrive at a national minimum wage may have hit the brick wall again as the organised Labour on Tuesday walked out of the Tripartite Committee meeting.

Sources at the meeting said Labour team was infuriated when the Federal Government shored up its earlier offer from N57,000 to N60,000.

The source, said, "We walked out again. Just now. They (federal government) added 3k. We reduced 3k."

As at the time the organised labour walked out, the federal government offer was N60,000, while labour reduced its demand to N497,000.

Recall that the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress both apex unions negotiating the welfare of their members have threatened strike by May 31st if parties to the negotiation fail to reach a compromise on the new wage bill.

The meeting was stalled a fortnight ago because of the absence of some governors who are members of the tripartite committee set up by the federal govt.
