That Amount for now is too Outrageous!! President Tinubu should Triple the Minimum wage or better still Let's settle for #100,000 Minimum wage for now. That's the Best Thing to Do.

bentenny:

You still do not understand the humongous effect that this subsidy removal is causing!
Just yesterday night,I gathered 5k that I normally use to buy 25litres of PMS to buy less than 10 litres!
Now imagine those who cannot even afford it?
Imagine SMEs that would be struggling to afford such expenses every day just to survive!
Transport cost have doubled!
The 100k you are mentioning,inflation has already halved that money!
If not for sympathy,the right amount that should have been given to workers should be in the region of 200k-300k esp when you break down that money and start taking out food expenses, utilities, transport cost etc!
The least that TUC will eventually agree on will be 100k or nothing!
No be their fault say FG refused to build or repair the refineries!

Chronic ignoramus

Bringbackmandat:
ordinary Ghana without fuel is paying 75k as minimum wage. But our big for nothing country is hardly paying 30k.

The guy you responded to has no idea what he’s talking about if a cleaner is getting 200k don’t you think teachers ,’doctors will not ask for the same rate increase. Tackle inflation and raise Gdp

elyte:
No. Nigeria is not rich. The country is broke and cant afford such demand.

sonature1:
I think they should be pushing for 100k per month minimum wage. 200k per month is too much. Do they want the government to spend 90% of federal earnings paying salaries?

Minime10:
The way some people dey argue sef !
Na only workers for dis kontry dey buy things from market
Every argument has always been for the civil servants (workers) who are already gainfully employed by the government.
What happen to the unemployed
Who make arguments for them, no one.
Nobody talks about the survival of the unemployed in a country that offers them no opportunity to survive.
Not as though I'm against the enhancement of workers welfare, no, far from it, but no one seems to care about how the unemployed populace will survived in a harsh and unfriendly environment like Nigeria .

olaniyilukman:
Bro, let be realistic in our analysis, it is not only government workers that are in Nigeria, there are artisans, businessmen, people working in private sector, what will be their fate, there are so many individuals in Nigeria are earning less than minimum wage in this Nigeria self, they should pressurized the government to ensure that our money is valuable and its purchasing power increase drastically....

kokoA:
200k is okay with the present high cost of living.

Penguin2:
Maybe 200k is a little too high.

For me, realistically, minimum wage should be non-negotiably 150k.

Image123:


TUC's bargain is only advantageous for Federal government workers(and don't complain when the new 200k minimum wage balloons the already overballooned salary of senators). How many Nigerians are FG workers? Do you think that the private sector minimum wage would miraculously jump up? Do you think even state governments are paying the current 30k, yet owing months of salary. Do you think teachers, secretaries, private drivers, cooks, delivery workers, contractors etc. that earn 15k, 18k will magically get salary increases?
i understand union leaders are usually set of unserious and unintelligent people but let's help them not to be myopic by educating them.

Evaloyal2J:

The numerous loans taken by this govt came with condition, continues devaluation of naira. The central bank keep doing this. Even though they come out to deny sometimes when they do. Unfortunately, the poor man is the one bearing the brunt because like you said, they earn less than the minimum wage

Sasi54:
Wow! This will be massive. I just wish Tinubu will do the needful.

lwisee:
They are not serious
Everybody will just be talking anyhow
Most of these government workers does nothing other than gossip in the office. They are only busy when it's time to pay salary.
They are nothing but liability to Nigeria.
FG should digitize operations of all government parastatals and reduce the workforce by half.

sunboy:



I hear you, quote me again if they get above 100k! Until stay safe out there.

And all your long analysis, not of it mentioned the impact of sudden rise in purchasing power... like I said, until then.

lebron7:
It's very interesting the amount of people here that don not know how an economy works considering the fact that they have access to the internet.

In the us, the average income (yearly) is about 31,000, with that amount you can live even though not very comfortable, you should be ok. In essence what we need is not increment of wages but rather strengthening of the naira so your money has a higher buying power.

For the TUC that made this statement, it should be a joke because I don't want to believe that members of a trade union do not know simple economics
