The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Shehu Gabam, has said the Federal Government can pay above N100,000 as minimum wage. Gabam made this statement in an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics. “For me, what I think at this stage: the government should do something above N100,000. “That’s what I think.
It’s something that you can say is reasonably okay. It makes a little bit of sense. People can breathe, and people can go to work without thinking of sabotaging the institutions. “They have to consider reviewing this subsidy. I’ve mentioned this severally, you can get it right with the rate of subsidy the way it is,” he added. Meanwhile, the SDP chairman has called for the adjustment of “fuel subsidy'.
The SDP chieftain, while speaking on the development, blamed it on the Federal Government which initiated the removal of the fuel subsidy. According to him, that move pushed the cost of living before the common man. Gabam said, “This government initiated this crisis by removing the fuel subsidy and naturally, they don’t need to be told that there are consequences that will follow.
