Labour unions, however, have stood firm on their demand for N615,000 and declined to lower their proposal.
In previous discussions, the private sector had offered N56,000 as a potential minimum wage.
Governors are expected to present their offer today, following consultations by their representatives at yesterday’s meeting.
A labour representative at the meeting deemed the Federal Government’s new offer of N54,000 unacceptable.
Labour unions also criticized the governors for their absence from the Tripartite Committee meetings.
