The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, revealed that the Federal Government will initiate discussions on the new minimum wage with labour unions in March. This announcement was made during the 21st Daily Trust Dialogue and the presentation of the 2023 African Award of the Year in Abuja, where the theme was ‘Tinubu’s Economic Reforms: Gainers and Losers,’ organized by the Media Trust Group.
Alhaji Idris explained that following the removal of fuel subsidy, President Bola Tinubu initially pledged a N25,000 wage award to workers to mitigate the impact of the subsidy removal. However, after negotiations with Labour, an agreement was reached for a N35,000 wage award, which President Tinubu committed to paying for six months, from September 2023 to February 2024.
He stated, “After the payment of the wage award for six months, in March, the government and Labour will come together again to deliberate on a new minimum wage for workers.” Emphasizing the intention of President Tinubu to address the welfare and well-being of all Nigerians, Alhaji Idris urged Nigerians to give President Tinubu the time needed to implement measures for the country’s improvement.
The upcoming discussions in March mark a crucial step in determining the new minimum wage for workers, reflecting the government’s commitment to addressing economic reforms and ensuring the welfare of Nigerian citizens.

Arabambi said attempts by the Nenadi Usman-led faction to reintegrate Obi would fail, stressing that the party’s leadership has taken a final position on the matter.
He made the statement during an interview on News Central, saying the decision followed internal consultations involving key figures such as the Julius Abure-led leadership and Abia State Governor Alex Otti.
According to him, the party has also resolved to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Arabambi further blamed Obi and his supporters for contributing to Labour Party’s internal challenges during the 2023 elections, alleging organizational failures during the polls.
He maintained that Obi’s return to the party is completely off the table, insisting that the issue is already settled within the party’s leadership structure.
The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has dismissed claims by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar that it is part of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement on Thursday, NNPP National Secretary Ogini Olaposi said the party is not affiliated with the ADC and has no plans to join or merge with the coalition.
He clarified that the involvement of former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and members of the Kwankwasiya Movement in ADC activities does not represent the NNPP as a political party.
Olaposi also claimed that only a minority of Kwankwasiya supporters followed Kwankwaso, insisting that many of them have since joined the APC.
He further accused Atiku of misinformation, stressing that NNPP remains an independent political party focused on contesting elections on its own platform.
According to him, any previous association with the Kwankwasiya Movement ended after the 2023 general elections, adding that Kwankwaso and some associates had already been expelled from the party.
The NNPP maintained that it respects other political parties but has no interest in joining the ADC coalition.
