“The Labour Act of 2004 also has an exception that states that any establishment which employs fewer than 50 workers does not have to abide to the Nigerian minimum wage…”


I found this somewhere.

The Labour Act of 2004 is old and doesn't really talk about that.

The more appropriate law I'm aware of is the National Minimum Wage Act of 2019 section 4 which talks about who is exempt from paying minimum wage and it includes employers with fewer than 25 workers, those on commission only and part time workers etc

You can download it and check, it's available online and just about 11 pages.

Learn to talk to people with respect. It doesn't make you more respectable to talk down on people you don't know, in fact it's quite the opposite.

Are you a business owner? Do you have workers you pay salaries to?
mrvitalis:
My own is not proposed X a month

Break it down.. According to the UN anyone who lives below 2 dollar per day is poor that's the definition of poverty

2*30 is 60 dollars... That's 90,000 naira

Are you saying Nigeria workers should be poor?

Married couples need to earn 180k to escape poverty, with two kids 360k minimum

Please minimum wage of 150k then stop NNPC from selling petrol at a lose, remove petrol subsidy pay 150k minimum wage


Yes petrol would be 1200 pee litre but 150k minimum wage would cover it

What do you mean by minimum wage will cover cover petrol @ 1200 per litre. How many percentage of Nigerians will are employed.
You talk as if minimum wage will be paid to every Nigerian.

Minimum wage affects them too na
Nope it doesn’t , my dad is a retired federal worker and his pension is not up to 30,000 current minimum wage . As a matter of fact they just increased it this year to what it is after almost 10 years that it was below 10k

Though he purposely retired early in the 90’s , so I can bold tell you that it doesn’t reflect on pensioner expect maybe they increase it again by few %

The bolded definition is good but it only stands in places where there is a regulation of prices for all commodities, goods and services. But the case is not same in Nigeria.

Though #150K, should be the benchmark for a minimum wage but also let the FG+NLC come up with a template on how such amount typically would be appropriated on basic amenities ranging from foodstuff, transport, toiletries, utility bills, rental savings, etc, etc, ....let it be done first for someone who has no one depending on him so they all know how realistically the amount they would finally agree would be expended typically for someone who would want to live within (h)is/er income.

Sharap. 200k minimum.

Is it not Ali Bola and his 40 thieves that just stole 15 trillion by claiming to construct a road from Lagos to Calabar?

They will only patch up some connecting bushes of the existing roads and call everything the Lagos-Calabar Expressway.

minimum wage is only basic, Thier so many allowances added to make it Gross salary, some one with 90k basic salary may end with 250k or 300k take home.
