The Nigeria Labour Congress has lambasted the Nigeria Governors ’ Forum for pegging the minimum wage at N 22 , 500 .

The NLC subsequently pegged the minimum wage at N 66 , 500 .

The President of the NLC , Mr. Ayuba Wabba , said this at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.

Wabba said the NGF was not known to law and was thus an illegal body.

He said all governors should return to their respective states and consult with workers rather than hide under the umbrella of the governors ’ forum.
