Subsidy Removal: Tinubu Wants Minimum Wage Doubled – Spokesperson by ijustdey(op): 10:13pm On Aug 04, 2023
Minimum Wage: Workers Should Expect Double Of Current Salary – Tinubu’s Spokesperson

The special adviser on media and publicity to President Bola Tinubu, Ajuri Ngelale, has said that workers should expect nothing less than double of their current salary when the new minimum wage is implemented.

Ngelale stated this while discussing what the Tinubu administration is doing to cushion the effect of subsidy removal during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

He said, “I don’t want to preempt the president or the work of the minimum wage committee that is getting it down in those states, but what I would say is this: the president will want nothing less than a doubling. I mean doubling of the current minimum wage.

As of June 36 states have received N300 billion more than they had received in any previous month in the last two years. They already have more money right now.

“The federal government on its part is making sure it brings down the cost food and energy by supporting transport companies and coming up with agriculture intervention as well as SMEs capitalization. States have all agreed during the last NEC meeting that they would support new minimum wage.”

That's rubbish.
If shouldn't be less than 80k. 60k is too low for current realities

I thought you said you're rich.
Does 60k look like good money to you?
How much do you fill your tank even if audio?

For those quoting me with wild claims of the salaries of other workers being doubled automatically, at least be patient enough to ask any civil servant or even private sector employee you know how minium wage works before you start coming online to say nonsense.

You'll see people stealing that N10 Maggi if you pay people far less than is sufficient to survive.
If you want to avoid such occurrences, pay people a decent wage

The more reason why you need a minimum wage. Non-govt workers are at higher risk of exploitation without a decent minimum wage

And yet you dey accuse someone above of being a troll.

There shouldn't have been anything related to armed robbery in USA as the Us govt workers are getting standard minimum wage.

Una go just wan argue for argue sake. So N60k no be also money to you, cos that's the genesis of this conversation

What is trolling in my post? If it's getting too complex for your brain, kindly drop it.
Who said armed robbery will stop with minimum wage? You're the one who brought robbery into the topic not me.
60k in this economy for minimum wage is simply ridiculous.
Minimum wage is not an instrument used to prevent robbery. Rather, it's to give workers a decent standard of life.

That is where you got it all wrong. I didn't vote Obi. I only supported Obi. And stopped supporting him since Tinubu became President. Most of us Obi supporters don't even have voters card this you should know.

My salary back den wt a private company was 15k but my take home was 75k monthly.
Usually level 8 in Lagos get about 125k so the take home can be 155k if na Buhari dan man will nvr listen.
All of use are insulting Tinubu now bc dude is frm the South.. Northern leaders don't care like Buhari

No be the genesis of this my conversation with you be that?

If workers are currently being paid N30k monthly and government want to increase it to N60k, isn't quarter better than nothing ?

Why ridiculing the amount? If a thief can be lynched for stealing N10 maggi, then N60k no be child play

Oga, Igbos always attacked Buhari when he did wrong, but most of you Yorubas always attacked the Igbos for doing that.

Look at the hypocrisy in your statement...

Will N10 Maggi do anything for the thief that was lynched? Same people who lynch a thief who stole N10 Maggi praise and worship a thief who stole 10bn. The difference is not in the volume stolen, it's in the accessibility of the thief to the killers. If we go by your logic, everyone who has ever stolen anything should be cold in their graves right now.

The idea of minimum wage is not a bambiala idea. It's not charity or alms giving where you apply the half bread is better than none principle. It's about an economically viable base line that ensures that workers live above the poverty line and afford a decent life. Just cause your leaders have made it a bargaining chip for political mileage does not mean its a favour being offered the less privileged. Far from it, it's what is determined to be sufficient compensation for labour in an economy
