The federal government’s stance that it cannot afford more than N25,000 per month as minimum wage has reportedly stalled the negotiations by the tripartite committee on a new national minimum wage. Vanguard has reported that the organised labour and Organised Private Sector (OPS) have faulted the figured by the federal government and are insisting on N30,000 minimum wage per month. The newspaper stated that the federal government had earlier presented N21, 700 per month as new minimum wage to the other social partners when the tripartite committee resumed sitting on Thursday, October 4. But displeased by the federal government’s figure amidst the high cost of living in the country, the organised labour and OPS reportedly reached an accord, increasing their earlier figure of N25,000 to N40,000. Meanwhile, Ayuba Wabba, Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) president, on Monday, October 8, said the federal government will soon announce the new minimum wage as the tripartite committee completes its assignment for onward submission to President Muhammadu Buhari.According to him, the committee reconvened and deliberated on a new minimum wage figure that was acceptable to all employers of labour in the country.

O

I hope its true cos implementing it will now be a problem..

#backtodaura continues...Atikulecting in progress.

What's N25,000??

Go to other oil producing countries and see how they are treating their citizens and their minimum wages to government staff...


If you can't pay us above N50,000, Then you are saving the money for politicians to loot us dry with their excessive demands for irrelevant allowances...

increase of #7,000

can it buy a bag of rice ?

GOD HELP US

Good development but i fear for Osun state and other states owing workers, if u know u know

Well I think 40k is manageable for Nigerian workers

to be frank, 25k can't last me for 2 weeks with management. so how come family men are living on that?

Even if he pay 1million naira as a minimum wage, I will still vote against him

The issue is the States.
How will they pay being that they have been owing salaries on this old wage system.
What Nigeria needs is not increase in minimum wages but a good approach to reduce inflation and better the economy.

Good, I hope those States owing can pay this

Wages should be paid per hour. How much do one earn per hour with this#25,000?

#25,000 ÷ 4 weeks = # 6,250 ÷ 7 days= #892.9 ÷ 7 hours (8am -3pm) = #127.6 per hour

#25,000 per month
#6,250 per week
#892.9 per day
#127.6 per hour.

Meaning, we earn less than one dollar per hour when some countries dey earn $6 per hour. Na wa ooooo.

This na suffering and smiling.
