The National Labour Congress (NLC) president, Joe Ajaero has insisted that the minimum wage should not be below N615,000.

In an interview with Channels TV, Ajaero argued that workers deserve a “living wage” that is sufficient to cover their basic needs.

His argument follows federal government’s decision to raise civil servants’ salaries by 35 per cent.
