This is exactly what I have been saying.

1) many people have jobs only because wages are low, if they rise they will lose their jobs. It is one thing for government to pay it is another for individuals, small businesses and even large companies in the private sector to pay.

2) salaries are low because several people do the job of one person. Our productivity is very low. If one person did the job well as he is supposed to do, a man wouldn’t need 4 drivers and his only driverwould earn the wages that he is currently sharing with 4 people. A man does not need 4 drivers. I don’t care who you are. Worst case he employs 2 instead of 4 and doubles both their salaries as it should be.

I have said it many times in the last few days the problem of wages I. Nigeria is a problem of lack of productivity where it takes 2,3,4,5,6 people to do the job of 1 person. I have said it also that when all is said and done many people will lose their jobs and they will realize Labour wasn’t fighting for them.
Instead of joining other ignorant people to spread misinformation,why not tell people the truth as it concerns minimum wage in the private sector in Nigeria .

You already know what's contained in the minimum wage act which has exempted people like him with only 4 drivers in his employ from paying minimum wage in Nigeria.

So why trying to live in denial here

The SGF is either ignorant of the law or his lying to ridicule labour. That's it.

Don't mind him. He's lying to ridicule labour. As a private individual he is exempted from paying minimum wage to that number of drivers.

If he doesn't know the law , then he doesn't deserve that position he's occupying.

From Governor, to 3 terms in the Senate, then Minister and now SGF while his wife is a serving HoR member, but somehow can't pay his staff 100k.

E no go better for Akume, him friend Thiefninbuu and anything APC.

I suggest you take your own advice and read the minimum wage act. If you did you would realize that the law Doris not even apply to the majority of Nigerian workers in the first place. Labour is fighting for government workers and even in that space they are really only fighting for federal workers.

Again read the law. I have posted the relevant sections numerous times over the last few days. The law does not apply to majority of workers and is not enforceable by law to the majority of employers.

Either way the SGF is right or at least is sending a message about the real Nigerian situation. He has 4 drivers because the government is paying for it. Government workers represent only 0.6% of the population. If he were a private citizen he wouldn’t employ that many drivers.

Either way whether as a public official or as a private citizen, nobody needs 4 drivers. This is the point I have been making that we are unproductive and many people owe their jobs to lack of productivity and low wages. If we are forced to be productive or wages are forced to rise, many jobs will go because there simply isn’t the money In the economy in both the private and public sector.

Political leaders in Nigeria lack empathy and have entitlement mentality. These guys are more or less psychopaths.

It's not as if u don't hv money to pay them that amount, but u feel the amount is too much for them. U feel ur staff don't deserve good living. U feel it's appropriate ur staff feed on the crumb u drop for them and remain ur servants.

100k is nothing compare to the current economic situation of the country. I can't even accept a job of 100k now, it's better i continue with truck driving.
