The Federal Government had initially offered N48,000 which was also rejected as it was contrary to the N615,000 minimum wage demanded by the NLC and TUC.
According to reports, the meeting was adjourned until Wednesday, May 22, to allow for further negotiations and deliberations.
Meanwhile, the Organised Labour has given the Federal Government an ultimatum to conclude negotiations for a new minimum wage by the end of May.
