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

Xisnin:

If you reduce something by 200% you will be left with nothing.

sureheaven:
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.

Did you read the article at all?

Government have no money to psy salaries at 18,000 and many state government are owing many months salaries already. Where then will they find money to 100,000?if they are owing many month at 18,000, how many years pay will they be owing if it is 100,000? Please tell me

Also, stop making reference to the greedy National Assembly or House of representatives. There's no correlation

Which to you is cheaper? Pay 10 people N500 each or paying 1,000 people N20 naira each?

The legislators are just a tiny percentage of the civil service. There is ratio is probably less than 1 legislator to a 1,000 civil servants

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.”

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.

Hey, young man, stop making excuses for these dimwits, except you're also one

There are hundreds of ways to get that done without sending anyone to the gallows That a dimwit doesn't know doesn't make it impossible

If anyone in the position to pay that kinda salary can't pay it, PLEASE he should either resign willingly or risk being taken out! Ain't you tired of idiots who can't even lead a goat trying to lead millions of people? All they do is sit and wait for money to come Real leaders go out there and get the fūcking money Is Nigeria really a zoo or worse than one?

Please stop making excuses for these dimwits because it would be as good as saying coaches who can't deliver should be retained! That should sound stupid enough to you

You're obviously a left leaning fantasist like Oshiomole was when he was in charge of the NLC.

As governor, the reality of the economic reality of limited resources and unlimited demands dawned sadly on him.

If you actually think any Nigerian state can pay even 50,000 as minimum wage talkless of 120,000, you are in a coma induced fantasist
