TUC: Workers worse off under MBuhari administration despite minimum wage rise | TheCable
Festus Osifo, president of the Trade Union Congress , says Nigerian workers have fared worse under the President Muhammadu Buhari administration than the previous governments.Chris Ngige, minister of labour and employment, had earlier said the Buhari administration had done enough for workers in the country.
“I can tell you without any fear of contradiction that this is the first government in Nigeria that has not done retrenchment of workers because of the paucity of funds or because the economy is bad.” “I do not agree that Nigerian workers have fared better under the administration. It is not correct in any way. I could hear the minimum wage was moved in 2019 from N18,000 to N30,000, but the question is what was the worth of naira in 2019, and what is it today?” he asked.
