It is not a matter of “will”, you are asking the wrong question.

Your question should be “How much increase will Tinubu FG give to the workers?”.

They already started the process of minimum wage increase, we are just waiting to hear how much it will be.

Femmyfamous4u:


He will definitely do that. The minimum wage will begin in August, 2023.

Kukutenla:

What stage are they in the process now?
Who are those driving the process and why have they not been unveiled to the public?

Stop deceiving people. There's no process ongoing for wage increase as at today. There's a process for minimum wage increase as provided for by our laws and it's not possible for that process to start if there's no minister for Labour

Kukutenla:

Where is this date coming from?
Are you a govt spokesman or just a dreamer?

Femmyfamous4u:


I am not a dreamer. A committee was set up headed by the VP and that was the date given.

Leave Nairaland and go and read news so you can stop ridiculing yourself online.

Do you think Tinubu jazzed the Labour union for them not to scatter everywhere? They are all in the process of the increase so everyone is keeping calm until they unveil it, then they can act.

The Federal Government, on Monday, said it had set up a steering committee to consider the various demands presented by the organised labour following the removal of fuel subsidy.

Kukutenla:

This is why it is always dangerous to rely on headline alone.



This is the first line of your headline. I didn't bother to copy everything cause you can go and read it by yourself. Nowhere was minimum wage mentioned by all they quoted, be it labour or govt reps.

Besides that, be properly educated that the procedure for minimum wage increase requires presenting an executive bill before NASS for passage before the president assent. The Bill must have the signature of the minister for Labour before it can be presented by same person to FEC to sit on and approve.
For an individual who spends last eight year defending govt you don't seem well informed

LegendHero:


So what should I do with this jargons?

You were initially running your mouth that there is no plan to increase minimum wage, then I told you there is plan in motion and now you’re talking to be about some labor bla bla.

You think the FG and Labor guys that consented to the wage increment are dumb and don’t know what it entails to get it approved?

Kukutenla:

Stop trying to be smart by half. Your claim is that the process is ongoing and I'm telling you there's no process on ground. All this twisting and turning to plan and consent makes no sense when there's no minimum wage committee in place yet.
Learn to read and understand.
What the present committee is doing is looking at all the demands of labour with a view to harmonising them and seeing if and how they can work. There's no agreement on anything yet, be it minimum wage or any other palliatives. That's my point.

LegendHero:


You’re saying nonsense.

Minimum wage committee is already set up. This is June 20 statement from Reuters for example.

You set up the committee (already done), they reach agreement with labor on the actual Increase % (they have few weeks ultimatum for this which they already started), then the government execute it.

How is this hard to understand for heaven sake?

You’re saying nonsense.

Minimum wage review committee is already set up. This is June 20 statement from Reuters for example.

You set up the committee (already done), they reach agreement with labor on the actual Increase % (they have few weeks ultimatum for this which they already started), then the government execute it.

How is this hard to understand for heaven sake?

No government will just rise up and say “this is minimum wage”, you need to set up a committee first with the beneficiaries who are the Labour union and seek their approval on the amount so wahala no go happen. They’ve started that and it’s called the minimum wage committee and they have 8 weeks to submit the report:m. Then the FG execute with following the law of the land.

What’s hard to understand in this?

Kukutenla:


The bolded is the part you keep missing. Labour made a demand to govt based on subsidy removal. The demand includes among other things, minimum wage. The request is not an initiative of govt as you put it. Ordinarily, minimum wage is supposed to be reviewed every five years which means with the one done in 2019, the next review is due in 2024. That's where I'm going with my argument with you. Will the govt implement labour's demand of 200k and will it do so this year given the dire straight Nigerians are in?
That's what should be paramount and not this your claim that FG has already agreed to increase minimum wage and is only waiting for labour's approval.

LegendHero:


No you are mixing things up.

It is a two way thing. It is an initiation of the government right from the start to call Labor to the negotiation table. After fuel subsidy removal, the response of Labor is to go into full blown strike and the government had to call them to the table to negotiate. From there the FG brought some of their own offer that involve minimum wage and etx and labor also brought their own demand of minimum wage as terms not to proceed on strike.

Then the FG set up a minimum wage review committee that include FG and Labor union to conclude on the actual figure the minimum wage increase will be.

I don’t know why we are having this argument coz we are just going around in circles.
