The Nation Newspaper Minimum wage: Labour begs Tinubu to approve N250,000 demand
Organised Labour has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to show his compassion for Nigerian workers by approving their demand for a minimum wage of N250,000, to reflect the nation’s current inflationary trend. and a member of the organized labour negotiation team in the Tripartite Committee for the New National Minimum Wage, Prince Adewale Adeyanju, criticized state governors for obstructing efforts to secure a fair wage for government employees.
”We started having that issue at the negotiating table where they were dragging from N30,000 to N48,000 and N60,000. They were priced as if they were tomatoes and onions before they now finally came out and said N62,000. “The ball now lies on the table of Mr President who I believe that this is an opportunity to show empathy to the whole workers. This minimum wage comes every five years. Between now and five years, what is going to be the impact of the figure of a new minimum wage on the lives of the workers in their various workplaces?”That is why we are appealing to him as a friend of workers who persistently promised to give workers a living wage to approve the N250,000.
