News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN) recalls that the organized labour leaders had rejected the approved N27,000 by the national council of states, demanding N30,000 as a new minimum wage.

Reacting to the demand of organized labour, Yari said that the demand for N30,000 as the new minimum was not realistic.
