Nigerian workers may be in for better days come 2017 as the Nigeria Labour Congress has revealed plans to push for a minimum wage of N56,000 for Nigerian workers.

The union says it will re-open talks with the Federal Government to increase workers’ minimum wage from the current N18,000 to N56,000.

Another strike looming ,because this present govt must have an excuse to give and Labour won't like to shift ground. I pity Nigerian workers.

In other words, 5600 will be deducted from the current minimum wage. Just watch out

My only happiness in this issue be say Strike go dey nd i no go go work...

some duffus will b argueing dt Nigeria is rich. A country with minimum wage of 18000 Naira ($40). In other words, they are living below 2 dollars per day.

Do u measure a country's wealth by d amount stolen by some barboon brains?

And where will government(especially the state govts) get the money to pay 56,000?

We are playing with a serious inflation.

What is the equivalent of $2 in Naira?

Impossible! They would strike hold some fake meetings and then settle on 25k!

You are right, especially when government begin to threat them with retrenchment notice.

The state governors will do everything possible to frustrate this move. I'm so sure of that.

Just watch it.

Buhari will not agree to this. The first question will be, "where is Nigeria going to get all that money from?"

This means 32.143% increase in personnel expenditure apart from overhead.

Pa Bubu will never agree to that. He would rather scream from his numerous trips abroad that Nigerians are corrupt, feed fat on estacode on irrelevant foreign trips, pump more money to our "thiefnators" and "legislathieves", shield those fronting his motives and insult his wife.

Anyway, if he doesn't agree to it by dialogue, he will pave way by force for the good of Nigeria's civil service population of over 3 million.

NLC IS DEAD, PERIOD

Instead of fighting for 56k minimum wage, lobby NASS to make a law that criminalises owing workers' salaries.
Any governor who owes should be removed and jailed. If workers are getting the current 18' as and when due, there won't be much hunger in the land.

In other words, 5600 will be deducted from the current minimum wage. Just watch out

FOR WHAT?
