Bello, who was represented by his deputy, Chief Edward Onoja, affirmed that it was another step in the right direction where dialogue remained preferable to confrontation, hence the setting up of the committee.
He said, “It is to simply engage in dialogue, using fact and figure comparative analysis to be able to agree with terms that would guide both parties regarding the newly increased minimum wage for civil service in Nigeria to the tune of N30,000.”
