Second republic senator, Chief Olorunnimbe Farukanmi, on Saturday said the N50,000 minimum wage being demanded by Nigerian workers may not be realised soon.

The former lawmaker noted that the labour unions have been asking for N50,000 minimum, which he said would be 250 per cent increment based on the current N18,000.

Farukanmi, Chairman, Elders Assembly of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo state, told Nation: “It is evidently clear that some of the various levels of governments in existence presently owe their workers over 10 months salary arrears.

“It means that if some local and state governments are unable to meet up the N18,000 especially as sources of revenue generation are dwindling, the proposed N50,000 per month demanded by the labour force, if acceded can never be met by these present government”

The APC stalwart said the negotiation on the demands of the labour unions for over N50,000 as the national minimum wage has been on for many years without any resolution.

The elder statesman warned that new minimum wage of N50,000 would cause another economic recession in the country, as it would lead to general increase in the prices of all commodities and food stuff.

He said: “The labour Unions should ensure that this nation does not slip into recession again since every Nigerian is aware of the fact that Nigeria derives majority of its revenue from oil and gas, but with the large scale reduction in the prices of oil in the world market, the country’s revenue has reduced drastically.

“At a time when the economy should be strengthened with a stable naira as against encouraging further inflation, to embark on a stable naira as against encouraging further inflation, to embark on a 250 per cent wage increase will be enormously detrimental to the successful growth of the economy.”

Rubbish, labour demanded 50k.
Hw much is the govt offering the already impoverished Nigerian worker? That's what is important

The gap between the salaries of political office holders and the civil servants are damn too wide.Reduce the salaries of the elected politicians by 200% then I'm sure we can have a successful increment for the civil servants. .Do the maths

All Promises Cancelled = APC

Workers, who are the engine room of governance, earn the lowest minimum wage in the world but our leaders earn the highest salaries in the world. Over 50m is budgeted for Pres. Buhari's hair cut per annum.


Bad leaders and some stupid youth are part of the problems of this country.

Read the write up. You won’t die

It is wickedness to expect someone to survive on 18k a month. Tufiakwa. Daddy pls just shut the ferk up

What's this one saying ?

The 50k demanded by Labour is too small. How can less than $40 be minimum wage in a country like Nigeria. It’s shameful, minimum wage shld be at least 120k.

Our political leaders who nothing are receiving na looting billions everyday while the masses are given peanuts as take home every month.

Can you just Imagine. I pity Nigeria

Mr man, shut up .

This is Nigeria! Compare the minimum wage of other countries who are less developed than Nigeria, then you will know that our so-called leaders have no conscience and human feelings.

Reduce politicians salary.. Let dem b on the same level as civil servants then we can achieve that

If all political office holders are paid on the same scale of 18k, I think labour will understand with you sir, and the government, but a situation where by a political office holder gulps up close to the allocation of a whole local government in a month but the workers can't get a fraction of it is hypocritical and in fact, wicked!

Country full with 250 million fools!




How can few Cretins control 250 million people?

Rubbish talk from Mr former Senator with moustache. N50k for poor civil servant will cause economy back to recession but millions for each national Assembly will not cause recession. Nonsense shameless & selfish old Man.

Buhari has won APC Presidential ticket with 14, 842, 072 million votes from 36 states of the Federation. They counted the figures in less than 4hrs.

Serves Nigerians right for voting in buhari

I hope he wins next year so they suffer 4 more years of this

Am sure i read it from a-z, nowhere it stated what d govt is offering, so can u tell ?

The problem of states owing workers salary has nothing to do with no money. It's just wickedness on the part of the governors. Some received bail out finds and still refused to pay. If we have sincere leaders, they can even pay 100k a month when they stop inflating contract sums, wasting money bon frivolous things.

Oya Labour.

Do your thing. Where is that Wabba that sold this government to gullible workers?

APC is a fraud.
