Increase in VAT: New minimum wage, NYSC allowance useless – NANS tells Buhari
The students body said the new minimum wage and the increase in the National Youth Service Corps members allowance were of no effect, considering that people now paid more for goods, phone calls and other services.
“By virtue of this, the level of inflation since the implementation of N18,000 minimum wage, till the current battle for N30,000 minimum wage, has drastically outweighed the purchasing power of the masses.” The statement reads further: “In this view, while we commend the necessity of the increment in corps members’ allowance, we give the salutation to the rank and file of Nigerian workers who keep fighting for befitting reward for their labour. To this end, we call on every Nigerian not to relent in the struggle for a better country that guarantees proper welfare of all.
