This meeting comes about a month after the President’s Democracy Day speech on June 12, 2024, where he announced that an executive bill on the new national minimum wage for workers would soon be sent to the National Assembly for passage.
On June 25, the Federal Executive Council (FEC) chaired by the President stepped down consideration and deliberation on the memo on the new minimum wage to allow for more engagement with stakeholders.
