I am not surprised. A lot of reasonable people said the new minimum wage is unrealistic but Nigerians being emotional rather than logical would not listen.

If VAT is increased, the workers would be poorer than they currently are even though they earn more.

To increase the standard of living , we need to reduce costs(cost of food, housing, et al) which would increase the purchasing power of the common man without increasing the wage bill and we need to be more productive. Anything outside this two is going in circles.

Thank you for this sir!
They will learn with time.

Increase in VAT is directly proportional to the increase in the price of products! So much for #30 000 minimum wage.

"There may be the need to make some changes, especially the VAT, in order to fund the minimum wage once it is announced."

Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, Nigeria’s Minister of Budget and National Planning, has given indication that the government may need to increase Value Added Tax (VAT) to fund the new national minimum wage.

He stated this on Tuesday when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance at the hearing to deliberate on the new national minimum wage of N30,000 approved by the Senate. ����

The Senate had approved the new figure at its plenary on Tuesday.

Speaking before a panel led by Senator John Owan Enoh, Udoma noted that the Technical Advisory Committee on the minimum wage would submit its report to President Muhammadu Buhari during the week.

“The current minimum wage of N18,000 is really too low. It is difficult for workers to manage on that amount. The President supported a review but it is important that as we are reversing it, we should be able to fund it. It is in the light of this that we would be coming to you (Senate), because there may be the need to make some changes, especially the VAT, in order to fund the minimum wage once it is announced,” he said.

Some fine propositions by you, but most of the proposals herein are utopian and impracticable. I will respond to just paragraph a of proposal number 3.
First, you can't privatise all gov't parastatals. Let's take the Corporate Affairs Commission for example, who steps in to fill the vacuum created by a privatisation of the CAC? A private firm? How then do we balance the conflict of interest that's bound to arise in the event that your proposed privatisation is carried out? Again, who carries out the duties of parastatals like NERC, NAFDAC and other sector based regulators? How do you tackle the risk of conflict of interest associated with leaving such agencies at the hands of private corporate entities? A cursory look at my submissions would show that your argument on privatisation caves in upon itself at the slightest critical assessment.
Oh... on a lighter note and for the sake of a little banter, shey na your Baba be President and your party dey majority for legislature, make you reach out to them see whether them go try implement your point on emoluments.

And the governors that can't pay should reduce their emoluments! If they truly cared about their people the governors and state assemblies would tie their own salaries to the performance of the economy of the states...let's see if they won't be forced to find other sources of finance asides oil money

nkemjacob2:
so wat is the essence of increasing the minimum wage. This gvt actually know how to take money back from the citizen

enm:


Is it only the legislature? What about the executive too ?

RealityShot:
NO!


executive have limited tenure, don't they, so what are you talking about?


is it not senators that openly earn over N1 billion each every year? Do you hear that about the exec?


is it not senators that go to work once or twice or ZERO a month and collect N13+ million basic salary?


is it not this same senate that PADDED THE BUDGET with over N250 billion last year?


Where did they expect the exec to get that from?


LET THEM GET THE N150 billion for minimum wage from there too!


massive inflation loadng this year!!!
