There’s a lot of development and projects going on in Lagos state so I’m not so sure it’s the right time to push for this. Lagos is not yet a mega City

Its better to be self employed than to Pushed around by the government

It's not better to be self-employed if the people that will be patronizing your products and services do not have the financial power to do so. You would be fooling yourself if you think the minimum wage issue does not affect you because you are self-employed.

You people will just be shouting self-employed and entrepreneurship as if the last 20 businesses of people I know that closed down due to hostile business environment did not belong to self-employed people.

I don't want to even go into how a government policy can ruin or cripple your business once implemented.

undecided undecided undecided

They should kukuma crumble the government lazy set of corrupt and greedy civil servants

Lagos state need to prune down the size of her work force the wage bill is just too much and infrastructural development is worse for it.

Can't even begin to rationalise why the smallest state in terms of land mass should engage a massive work force of above 100.4k when there is evidence of severe deficit in infrastructure.


Check the ratio of the workforce to d entire Lagos population, u will understand that workforce is not over bloated. So it's not a factor of land mass but more of population size.

Too me, 100, 400 public workers isn't too many for Lagos state. But they must be productive.

Very sure Lagos can afford it
With all the debt hanging on their neck? How much do you think Lagos makes on their own?

About 400 billion naira annually.

Lagos can't but has the capacity.

How many percent of that population are indigenous to Lagos state, we must start changing our mindset that government must constitute the biggest employer of labour, that's a very erroneous view, government should be an enabler for privately owned businesses to thrive and create employment not the other way round.

Governments at all levels in the country as it were are already overburdened by ridiculous recurrent expenditures of which most go to paying salaries, pensions and gratuities leaving very little for capital projects.

Yet again, another reason why states not the FG should be responsible for pegging the MW and implementation. 50K goes a long way in Plateau but it is literally nothing in Lagos. The fight is necessary as I was told (could not verify) that the starting salary for graduates into Lagos' state civil service is less than 50K. Now, the conundrum is: can private businesses afford to pay 50K as the starting salary to workers in Lagos (assuming they currently pay the 18K)? Are Lagosians ready for the impending rise in inflation that accompanies salaries' increment, ditto for unemployment?

Yet again, more reasons to scrap MW and let free market forces decide.
