This decision follows successful negotiations between Organised Labour/Associations and President John Dramani Mahama, who personally engaged with them to secure their support for the adjustment.
On Monday, February 3, 2025, the National Tripartite Committee, comprising representatives from the government, employers, and Organised Labour/Associations, began discussions to determine the 2025 minimum wage and salary adjustments.
