Reference:
NLC should go and sit down. There is no money to pay that. The economy is in shambles. You don't give yourself a pay rise when your earnings are down.
the only intelligent person in Nigeria thank you sir instead they should reduce fuel prices, food items tax and house rent to make the 18k stronger and more valuable

In Nigeria, if you protest alone, "they" will kill you.
Then, you guys will all come here and be swiping phone as if you don't know someone was killed.

No one should expect you to protest alone. It will be practical to sensitise others and awaken their conscience to the issues that need to be addressed through legal efforts in the courts, advocacy with lawmakers (local, state and federal) as well as protest.

useless labour, they are one of the biggest problems facing this country right now. go to Nigerian public offices and see how these animals treat commoners.

government should rather use the money to empower millions of unemployed youth roaming the streets, not giving these cankerworms another free lunch they don't deserve to grow their pot belly.

Nigerian Labour force is dead. Simple

Even Worse Nigerians are complacent and enjoying their own suffering.

What does it take the poor Nigerians to go out and occupy the streets, national assembly complex and even Aso Villa? Afterall all die be die


How can less than 1% hold 99%.to Ransome claiming they're working for us? This is worse than 419.



Hahahahahahahaha your funny

Seems your not in Nigeria or your not a Nigerian

Option 1- the govt will just send the police and army with live bullets, tears gas and trucks to disburse the crowd
Anyone that reaches you that's your fate and hope you know the countries that arm the Nigerian government

Option2- they will stage a counter protest organised by the government (they will pay each and everyone that participated in the protest) and video it ,then put it on the news. We see such daily

Option 3- the look for the organisers of the protest(figure heads) bride them if they refuse to be brides then they will be accused of one issue or the other, they will be arrested and charged to a kangaroo court who will find them guilty and they will be imprisoned


Evidence of this is how a peaceful protest organisation (IPOB) is a terrorist organization in Nigeria yet they v not killed or maimed any single soul in Nigeria or caused the death of a single soul in Nigeria yet it's a terrorist group in Nigeria list

Furthermore during the last protest in my region operation python dance killed alot of our youth

So think again

You're right. Sadly so

However I'm talking about having 80% compliance. If we have up to 80% of our youth buy into the Idea then we're good to go
Re: BREAKING: Labour Plans Nationwide Strike Over Minimum Wage by Nobody: 12:21pm On Jul 02, 2019
Nigeria is becoming something else,millions of graduates roaming the streets unemployed and underemployed..... So many qualified graduates can't secure a job in government offices because they don't have any connection or huge sum of money to buy slots, is this how a country should be run.......I will begin to take NLC serious if they can divert this energy being used to tackle minimum wage on measures qualified youths( whether children of the rich or poor) get properly employed on merit,ensure those private worker's welfare are OK etc when these are achieved, they can now begin to talk of minimum wage where as most civil servants are not even qualified

The organised labour have alerted Nigerians that plans were underway to embark on industrial action if the current state of affairs on the issue of consequential adjustment arising from the new national Minimum wage of N30,000 per month remains the same. It is operating under the aegis of the Trade Union Side (TUS) of the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC); the eight Unions in the Public Services of the Federal and 36 State Governments. In a press statement in Abuja on Monday, the TUS Acting Chairman, Mr Anchaver Simon, and the Secretary, Mr Alade Lawal, expressed disappointment by government’s effort to derail the implementation of a new National Minimum Wage.

“As things are right now, the government side is only prepared to pay peanuts to workers as adjustment under the pretext that it will soon be undertaking general salary review in the Public Service.” The committee on Consequential Adjustment of Salary agreed to set up a technical body to work out different scenarios in respect of salaries that would be paid to workers who are in the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) that draw their emoluments from the government treasury. The technical committee met severally and series of computations that were to be presented for the plenary for consideration were developed.

The labour leaders stated that the TUS had initially proposed that since the minimum wage was increased by 66.66 per cent; from N18,000.000 to N30,000.00, salaries for officers on Grade Levels 01-17 should be adjusted accordingly to maintain the relativity that exists in the salary structure in the Public Service. “But when the Government side argued that such increase across board would raise the total wage bill too high, the TUS side reviewed its demand downward and eventually settled for 30 per cent for officers on Grade Levels 07-14 and 25 per cent for those on Grade Levels 15-17. “The Government side on its part was insisting on 9.5 per cent salary raise for employees on Grade Levels 07-14 and 5 per cent for those on Grade Levels 15-17.

“The two sides then agreed to capture the two positions in the technical committee’s report which will now be presented for discussion at the plenary.” According to the TUS, it received a rude shock at the last meeting of the Technical Committee when the government side began to hold on to a non-existent position that the Technical Committee’s term of reference was to base its assignment in respect of salary adjustment on what was provided for it in the 2019 budget.

It regretted that the implication of Government’s position was that the Technical Committee cannot go beyond what the Government was pushing for which is 9.5 per cent salary increase for officers on GL 07-14 and 5 per cent for those on GL 15-17. “With this turn of event, it is quite clear now that some fifth columnists in this administration are hell bent on pushing President Muhammadu Buhari to enter into a collision course with millions of Nigerian workers in the Public Service. This is very sad,” the Union stated.

The TUS recalled that after the Ama Pepple committee recommended N30,000 monthly new National Minimum Wage, the Government Side went to the press to announce that the negotiation was inconclusive. “This is why the eight Trade Unions in the Public Service have resolved that enough is enough and that if the Federal Government fails to call its officials to order and direct them to negotiate openly the issue of Consequential Adjustment arising from the new National Minimum Wage, millions of workers at the Federal and 36 States Public Services will have no other alternative than to take some necessary Trade Union actions to seek redress.

“The time for President Buhari to act is now,” the Union emphasised. Meanwhile, a meeting of officials of the TUS of the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council across the Federation is being arranged with the sole aim of setting the records straight. At the same time TUS is preparing for appropriate Trade Union measures to be deployed to get justice for public service employees. (NAN)
