APPEAL TO ORGANISED LABOUR, BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA

This is a heartfelt and deeply considered appeal to the Labour Unions to continue along the path of negotiations with the Federal and State Governments, under the auspices of the Tripartite Committee that has been established to fashion out a new, realistic minimum wage for the Nigerian people.

As Government, we are desirous of a peaceful outcome, and we will do everything to make this happen. Yesterday, the leadership of the National Assembly met with the Unions. Today, we have offered another invitation to the Unions, to meet with us and continue our discussions.

We will continue to engage, and continue to make ourselves very available in the context of these negotiations on behalf of the Nigerian people

Let me make it clear that we are not opponents on this negotiating table. We are united by the fact that we want the best for the Federal Republic of Nigeria and for all 200 million citizens of the country.

We have a responsibility to strike a measured and realistic balance, in this effort to arrive at a new minimum wage for Nigerians.

Let us remind ourselves of the fundamental facts:

The minimum wage is not only for public sector workers. It will be binding on the private sector as well. This reality must be factored into the negotiations.

As I have explained earlier, Labour’s current proposal of N494,000 is an increase of 1,547 percent on the existing wage, and translates into an annual wage bill of 9.5 Trillion Naira for the Federal Government of Nigeria alone.

This is apart from its cost implications for subnational governments and private sector employees. Such a wage bill would cripple the Nigerian economy, by leading to massive job losses especially in the private sector.

The National Consumer Credit Scheme and the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) are additional significant demonstrations of a determination to bring relief to the people of Nigeria.

We want the Labour Unions to understand that the relief that Nigerians are expecting, and that they fully deserve, will not come only in the form of increased wages. It will also come as efforts to reduce the cost of living, and to ensure that more money stays in the pockets of Nigerians.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is firmly committed to doing what is right, reasonable and sustainable regarding these minimum wage negotiations. We call on the Labour Unions to reciprocate this gesture in the interest of the nation.

I thank you for listening.

So humble

Shey I told you there was no recovery path for the bank. Them don run ham into the ground

larride:
Nothing concern Mr Bayo with all these one you are typing o.

I do agree with your submission though.

[color=royalblue]Grid dey collapse for days and never have we heard of the government reporting casualties

NLC switch am off for one day, and over 4000 Nigerians have died.[/color]

larride:
Are you just knowing Bayo Onanuga?

I'm surprised you are surprised by his statement. What he is doing is what he is paid to do.

larride:
They are government spokesperson now, what do you expect them to say really?

They'll try to deflect from the issue on ground, it's what they are paid for.

liveLongNprospa:
I actually dey disappointed in Obi sha.

This particular situation, I expected baba to be lending his voice to add pressure for demands to be met.

liveLongNprospa:
Lmaooo these are the people you want to be reasonable with.
People that have not said a word about the power supply of hospitals since.
Or the overworked medical workforce.

A part of me hopes this doesn't stop

Spy360:
Madrid without Kroos will not be the same again. It is almost impossible to replace him in that diamond midfield Ancelotti loves to play.

The most useless body in the country

“It’s saddening that Labour could go to this extreme. But it is not surprising to the perceptive minds. Labour is harming the Nigerian people they claim to be fighting for. Today, many sick Nigerians cannot access medical care at government hospitals.

“Not even those with critical medical conditions. It appears labour is playing politics by other means. Many of the affiliates of the two central unions, NLC and TUC are members and supporters of the Labour Party.

“They logically bear ill will and grudges against the Tinubu administration. Otherwise, the issue they claim to be fighting for cannot be resolved by blackmail or sabotage, they cannot even be resolved by the Federal Government unilaterally, the Labour leaders will still have to return to the negotiating table.”

Itsrm:
That alternative is not an option.

We can't even complain. The man don try

larride:
The situation in the country is beyond critical. Na why I dey tell you and Blueray for morning say wetin that man dey yarn for that interview ma medium/long term solution.

Minimum wage need to increase immediately to at least help workers to survive.

Meanwhile, hand don touch oga landlord too.

I'm sure raumdeuter and GloriousGbola are happy now

larride:
When doctors strike, I hope you know it doesn't affect all other healthcare workers (if I'm wrong unlimited22 and afrodoc2 should correct me please).

Nurses, lab technicians and the likes still go to work even when doctors are on strike only that you wont be able to meet with doctors.

But when you shutdown hospital, all health workers wont be on ground. There's a huge difference between both of the situation o.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Larride has a point, but his alternatives na wash

Block National Assembly? People wey no wan work sef.

Government secretariats that resume by 9am and by 3, dem don dey click on the Start button on their system to shut down? Na dem go happy pass sef.

But he is right about losing the people, if the strike bites harder[/color]

larride:
Since morning I've been flaying the govt for their own nonsense. I am 100% in support of strike. Infact if you remember our discussion about Ajaero some weeks back, I said NLC suppose don shut down the country.

Shut down the country but leave critical infrastructure like power and hospitals alone. It's a no brainers.

Doctors have been going on strike since and people have been dieing, what has changed?

larride:
Those that will die from shutting down from the hospital are who? Theres a reason why they are called essential critical infrastructure.

Even during war, targeting hospital are called crimes against humanity.

Itsrm:
As someone else noted on twitter. Where have all these people been when doctors and medical workers have been going on strike?

This is what NLC should have even done when subsidy was removed. If they had, it won't matter if minimum wage is only increased to 40,000.

raumdeuter:
How much do you think is lost yearly to corruption and to subsidy. Subsidy breeds corruption.
Giving people employment letter and salary without any defined job role is also a form of subsidy which is exploited and leads to corruption

In your private companies how come we barely hear of ghost workers or people taking salary and not showing up to work

Its the idea that govt owes us something, prints free money and should be sharing all over, Free housing, Monthly allowance, free car, free transport, free Hajj, free dowry, free land as long as we are born

An average citizen believes by being born Nigeria already owes us a soft life without doing much, and inability to do that means its a failure

raumdeuter:
Blueraydick is this subsidy or corruption? This IMO is an example of subsidy mentality breeding corruption. If there was no awoof mony make Zamfara use taxes collected from farmers to send elite to Hajj and lets see the outcome

Blueraydick this was the first thing in my mind when I read nlc shut down the power grid
Somethings ain't meant to be done at all, looking at the country we are in people will die from this madness act

Ibunkun1:
As in, what even caused it was that their ATM card has been deactivated. I would have withdrawn it since

larride:
There's nothing the CBN will do to save that bank if their operations is not sustainable or them don run ham to the ground.

Sometimes its better to just wind it up than postponing the inevitable.

raumdeuter:
Another thing with fuel subsidy was that it made our cost of living significantly cheaper than our neighbors so that for example fuel for the who subregion was sourced from Nigeria

I will be interested in how the cost of living in Nigeria compares to our neighbors in West Africa

Our oil awoof we got for 60yrs was used to subsidize everything and not used to develop the real non oil economy. It’s because of oil revenue that states can just employ workers without any form of productivity. If it was taxes they are using to pay salary, No one will be employing millions of ghost workers

If oil prices crash today or oil dry up today, what will be the fate of Nigeria as a country. We saw a brief intro to it when there was a oil pric slump around 2016

raumdeuter:
Bring in Subsidy to cushion the effect of subsidy removal. Is that not the perfect definition of circular movement?

larride:
AMCON itself should be disbanded. It has outlived its usefulness.

The thing shock me
We take unnecessary risk, 2 days latest I will find my way to get my money out
