Nigerian Government To Review Minimum Wage Every 3 Years by Edygrin(m): 9:02am On Jan 10
The Nigerian government has announced that the minimum wage would be reviewed on a two-year interval instead of five years.

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, disclosed this on Thursday in Abia State.

According to her, the minimum review timeline is in line with President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to his promise to Nigerian workers by ensuring the minimum wage was reviewed after three years.

We are not going to allow minimum wage review to be forever.

“It used to be about five years, but now, in three years’ time, which is less than two years, we will also review the minimum wage,” Onyejeocha said.

This comes as the Trade Union Congress recently called for a yearly review of the minimum wage in line with economic realities such as rising inflation.

DAILY POST reports that last year Tinubu had approved a N70,000 minimum wage, with a promise to review it every three years.

However, Nigeria’s rising inflation, which stood at 34.60 percent in November 2024, had impacted the minimum wage increase.

Review of minimum wage doesn't always mean increase. It could mean decrease.

And that's a good sign because it spells that Paper money will recover 'perceived' value

Imagine #100 cooking a nice pot of soup like before. That's #100 recovering its value back


With that, a minimum wage of #10k will be nice

Throwaway for diggers:

Inflation is not the price of goods going up. No. Inflation is the effect of something. Ask yourself what's the cause. There's always a casue of an effect. Because this is a two way universe of cause and effect as Walter Russell tried teaching

Morning and night happens simultaneously, same way evaporation is balanced by condensation and evaporation again repeatedly. Death and rebirth

The cause of inflation is money losing value due to excess being 'electronically generated' by fractional reserve banking and central banks buying government bonds with money drawn from an empty account. The price of few goods then acts like a mop to sweep the excess money in circulation. And that's the effect you see in the markets.

Printing money doesn't cause inflation as you were taught.the electronic money in circulation(bank transfers, e-wallets) is always greater than paper money so that should tell you what's up grin

And that electronic money was created by the commercial banks through fractional reserve banking. Access, GTB, zenith...ask an insider and they *might tell you.

All the money you deposit in your bank is being used to create loans for new customers. But the loan doesn't come from your actual deposit, if it did, money creation would not be possible on a commercial bank level. The money is a computer generated number and that's what cause inflation.

Commercial banks, access, GTB and co, are selling your deposit as loans in exchange for collateral, back to you and other people who need it. And they're charging interest to you and others,non top your money grin

If the borrower pays the debt, that's fine
If the borrower delays in paying the debt, that's new money floating around the economy. Match that with few good being produced because of insurgency and you have inflation

if Nigeria pays all her debt, there'd be no Paper money in Nigeria. And that's why Nigeria can't pay her debt. Because the rulers need paper money

Debt= money

You're welcome to do your research

Welcome to the debt based economy

Lol.

With the cunning formulae they use now, they can even afford to review it every 6 months.

Federal workers earning N200,000 before the last review/increase now earn N215,000, that is less than 10% increment.

Going by the way this minimum wage matter is being dragged, the 3years periodic review may even be higher than the 5years. If since 2023, it couldn't be ratified and since April, 2024, it has not been paid, even the Corps members, till date, when will the 3 years start counting?

Same way Buhari used Rochas Okorocha to dribble labour for the 8years of his administration, Tinubu has just switched only the gender, still an Igbo to keep the ball in the midfield.
