The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) says that the N35,000 wage award agreement with the Federal Government will continue until a new minimum wage is determined.
Mr Joe Ajaero, NLC President, said this in an interview with news men in Abuja.
It would be recalled that President Bola Tinubu, on October 1, had approved N35,000 as the provisional wage increment for all Treasury-paid workers for six months.
This was part of an agreement reached with organised labour to cushion the effect of the removal of fuel subsidy.
However, the federal government has only paid two months of the wage award that commenced in September 2023.
Ajaero, while speaking against the backdrop of the payment of the wage award, said the payment would run for only six months before the commencement of the national minimum wage.
Ajaero noted that other issues that were yet to be implemented by the federal government include the Port Harcourt refineries, CNG buses, and wage awards, among others.
He, however, assured workers that the issues were being looked into holistically.
