The NEC, a statutory body tasked with advising the President on economic matters, includes the Vice President, Governors of the 36 states, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Minister of Finance, and other key stakeholders.

This meeting is particularly significant as the nation awaits the government’s decision on a new national minimum wage.

As the workforce eagerly anticipates the outcome, today’s NEC meeting is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the national minimum wage and broader economic policies.
