The Nation Newspaper Minimum wage: Senator Ani urges Labour, FG to adopt N100,000
on Friday urged Organised Labour and the Federal Government to consider and adopt the N100,000.00 as a “reasonable, realistic and sustainable living wage for Nigerian workers.”
Following the development, the leadership of Organised Labour labour called out its members for an indefinite nationwide strike from last Monday, June 3, 2024.However, the NLC and TUC suspended the strike for one week on Tuesday to allow for further negotiations following feelers that the Federal Government is prepared to up the amount from N60,000.Ani said: “The N494,000.00 Labour is asking Government to pay as minimum wage is not realistic.
“One hundred thousand Naira can take you, if you are living in a rural area where you don’t pay all these bills they are paying in township. The lawmaker, who taught Agricultural Science in different reputable universities before he resigned and joined active politics, also advised Nigerian workers to try and acquire skills as well as go into subsistent farming to be able to earn additional income to augment their salaries.
