After its inauguration of a 22-man committee on Monday, June 17, to negotiate the adjustment of salaries of workers to reflect the new national minimum wage, the federal government gave the group one month to come up with positive results.

The committee, inaugurated by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Giwa Mustapha, is led by the head of the civil service of the federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita.

Mustapha said: "I have no doubt in my mind that you have abundant literature, reports and other materials to help this assignment. The duration of the assignment is four clear weeks from this inauguration. It is expected that the Committee will work assiduously to complete the assignment."
