Unity bank alert received. New minimum wage sighted. Slightly over 85,000 naira added to my salary. Glory be to God.

Thank God for compensating Rivers people with a good hearted governor like Sim Fubara

Cursive:
no worry. You no go collect less than 250k

GamaG:
PLEASE, LEARN TO BE GRATEFUL FOR THE LITTLE AND EXPECT MORE. BY INFOS, THIS GOV WILL STILL GIVE US CHRISTMAS BONUS. APPRECIATE HIM.

23Ju:
Everyone cursing Sim is now quiet. I wonder why human being is like this.

Apraise:
This is real and not fake,just heard on radio 95.1.Today fm

Ok. However, the paper I read, Rivers State was neither among the states that haven't set up minimum wage committee nor those that have set up the committe. As you can see below.

27 states, FCT yet to set up minimum wage panels

Kindly share this story:


Twenty-seven states and the Federal Capital Territory have yet to set up committees to implement the recently approved N70,000 minimum wage.

The states are Plateau, Kebbi, Sokoto, Nasarawa, Bayelsa, Delta, Osun, Ekiti, Zamfara, Benue, Enugu, Taraba, Gombe, Kogi, Enugu, Adamawa, Niger, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi, Oyo, Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Katsina, Kaduna, Cross River and Yobe.

However, seven other states — Kano, Kwara, Ogun, Borno, Jigawa, Ondo, and Abia — have set up implementation committees. Only Lagos and Edo claimed to have started paying the minimum wage.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu signed the new minimum wage into law on July 29, 2024, after meeting with leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria.

In this report, I noticed Enugu was listed twice which was the same as the other papers I read - no doubt, a clerical error. Could it be Rivers was erroneously replaced by Enugu? Notwithstanding, let's not be too uptight about it. God is in control. Fubara will create a record.

emekatex:
All Nigerian politicians are the same. They can't do people any favour if there's nothing they will benefit from it.
The new minimum wage is no longer in the lips of our dear governor. Remember, he said that he will key in IMMEDIATELY the federal government concludes with the negotiations.
Now what's happening? I guess the FG is still discussing about the new minimum wage with labour unions. Right?
Hmmmm! No politician from Nigeria is a saint. All are selfish and self centered.

emekatex:
Inasmuch as we have to be positive, don't fail to acknowledge the vagaries of human being. Human being is dynamic and the governor is a human being who can change at any point in time. Hence, don't bank on what he said.

emekatex:
Now it has been established that the new minimum wage is 70k. Those who know how to calculate it should please tell us what we are expecting as our new salary when implemented. I mean Level 12 step 4. Thank you.

dmercy141983:
As you must have noticed the outcome was nonsense!minimum Wageningen is 62k the Governors can PA whatever they like.

dmercy141983:
@nonchalant35

Where is the 84k arrears you openly declared that we should expect it this month...?
I wonder how you feel spreading information to disturb the sensibility of pressured and battered Nigerian workers who NLC and TUC recently abandoned to 62k as minimum wage?
Why are you doing this?

Well... Let me give one week to see whether your declaration will come through, else Nigerian workers will gather and do meeting for you.

2ruconfidence:
Good morning colleagues,pls my state government Identity card broke into 2 unknowingly,pls what is the criteria for getting a new ID card?

buniken:
Federal government will continue to ignore the problem of its workers until it becomes crisis. Going by the way FG is riding roughshod over the welfare of workers at the ongoing minimum wage negotiation, a dark cloud of protest is brewing.

dmercy141983:
It's a welcome development indeed... Poverty occasioned by corruption will eventually destroy Nigeria. It is inevitable

emekatex:
Then 48 thousand naira brought on the table by FG is over seriousness abi?

Chibuking81:
To be realistic, comparing with dollar new minimum wage should be between #70,000 to #90,000. Labour should forget about N615,000. If federal government pay that amount dollar will rise to #10,000 per a dollar.

Dollar was #460 per dollar in May 2023, before President Tinubu took over.
If dollar stands at #1,380 per a dollar (i.e. X3) minimum wage should be #90,000
If dollar stands at #1,150 per a dollar (i.e. X2.5) minimum wage should be #75,000
If dollar stands at #960 per a dollar (i.e. X2) minimum wage should be #60,000
Then there will be an agreement that dollar should be regulated to stand at a particular point in which minimum wage will be fixed.

President Tinubu approves whatever you ask him to approve, but will not implement it. It is better they agreed on what he can implement after approval, and should make sure that the state governors agreed on the said new minimum wage, very important before signing into law.

gold360:
labour just want to cause confusion and drag this matter on for many months to come

dmercy141983:
Please nothing like palliative payment ok! Zenith bank Mayfresh and now access has paid and no addition, and even somebody using zenith said they deducted 2k.... Let's not get out hopes up

dmercy141983:
Tell Tinubu that we don't want minimum wage again please, what we want now is a living wage, for a living wage is better than minimum wage

Sau24:
Transfer is going on now at SSSB

dmercy141983:
Please study and read the scripture in CONTEXT not out of context. With God all things are not possible please. Jesus would have jumped when Satan told him to jump since obviously God would have saved him from the fall. With God RIGHTEOUS things are possible.
