While you smile home with fat and bloated pay, Why not place yourself under such payment

You're talking from the both sides of your mouth because there's enough food for you and your family.
I think you too should accept that as your minimum wage too

And why can't the Senator accept a pay cut as well? If labour goes below N250k, then they've betrayed the Nigerian workers

PressMyButton:
FG can pay 100k, but can Governors and your employer pay 60k minimum wage?

let each state decide. Check US below.

I don't really understand why everybody is shouting 62k this and that. The 62k is for level 1 step 1, which in reality nobody is in that level because even olevel employees starts from level 4, and graduate employees starts from level 8.
We should also remember that this minimum wage only affects less than 10% of Nigerian workers. Hence it will be unfair to the rest of Nigerians who will not benefit from the minimum wage if most of state resources are used just to pay salaries to only government workers.

Who will pay those in private sector? What about the jobless?

The heaven and earth the white people told you about is here on earth.

Those who want others to sacrifice and be patriotic have not done what they seek others to do since they started this administration. They have only proven as usual to show their contempt and resentment towards the common man.

It would be with all pleasure that none of these sets of people from top to bottom be voted for in the next election. If by chance the economy even improves by 0.000000001% they do not need to be allowed to return to the positions they so occupy now. Let the votes count in all geographical zones.

I bought a bag of rice yesterday at #80k.
I went home almost hitting somone out of anger.

This is not Nigeria of our dream We thought Goodluck Jonathan was a bad leader see where we have landed in the hand of APC.

Any employers that can't pay the minimum monthly pay of 100k should employ his/her employees and pay by the hour...
The minimum wage should be negotiated by minimum hour.

Exactly as the above poster has said. That's the only way this can be fair, these people are wicked.

They spend more than this amount on each of their dogs weekly.

ThiefnubuBandit:
Same idiot who collects millions and several unnecessary allowances every month wants workers to collect poverty wages. Foolish emilokan idiot.

Don't mind the fool and his fellow fools

I wonder what sacrifices our representatives are making to show they feel the pain of the masses!
.. just like Oga Soludo said, they should be on minimum wage .

slivertongue:
the NASS should also collect 62k

What do u mean. The minimum wage 60k is the minimum anyone employed can receive the it will be adjusted based on level of employment and position..

The question now is that can you as Private employer agree to pay ur employees 60k

Thats what your own salary should be then.

adioolayi:
Make dem no beg dem..

They should stay on that NGN 250,000 na..

Make we see how private organisations and SMEs go pay.

I agree with you if only the Senate and house of representatives members also earns a total package of N62,000.
No private organization can pay what this people earn and still remain in business in Nigeria

Was it not this same 60k rejection that made them go on in the first place ?

I don't understand the reasoning of all of us who speak in this manner....
We can't continue to say what or how will the private sector say for they can't afford it!!!
The private sector is in different segments and they all know the methods they arrive at to pay their employees.
We can't continue to bring up lame excuses and ideas as to why private sector can't pay !!!!
I would be more happy if the government can put a template on that money they want to shove up the throats of the NLC and let's see it on a spreadsheet.
Those who claim that civil servants don't work or not productive, can they say same for those who are proposing a poverty wage?

Can this shit for brain receive 62k as his salary? Let him start from it,

They should also cut their salary to match the minimum wage.

Oga,why are you in a hurry? Shebi the matter will enter Mass for deliberation ,abi them send you no ?

SwissMass:
The problem with these wages is that the more you earn, the more you spend because, immediately , goods and services will increase in prices

I don't think it works that way. Goods and services have already increased in price.

I think it's the same argument for private sector. They increased the prices of good and services but failed to increase the salaries of their workers along with it. Then when a new minimum wage comes in to compel them to do what they ought to have done when they initially increased prices of goods and services they talk about increasing prices. That's an elaborate scam.

Oga,why are you in a hurry? Shebi the matter will enter Nass for deliberation ,abi them send you no ?

these people are mad. they gave 300 percent increase to judges and want workers to receive beans

Let the Senate start receiving 60000 also
We would accept

Kateminopla:
“The federal government has promised to make more concessions in this respect. As the federal government reveals its new offer, I plead with the organised labour to accept it in the national interest. The economy will remain in this condition. Collectively, we are taking multi-pronged measures to reverse disturbing economic indicators.”

So if our leaders cut their salary like other leaders in some countries use to do,you and your family will die?

My issues is with NLC and TUC...we have about 60 million workers in Nigeria..out of which Federal Government workers are just 1.2 Million...State and Local government workers are less than 15 Million...the remaining are private organisations, and majority are small and medium enterprises.. including private schools, saloons, artisans, cooks, securities, drivers e.t.c..

If government agrees to pay NLC and TUC..who takes care of the other millions of workers? That's the big question.

Immediately new wage is released, prices of goods and services will further go up ..how will these other workers cope

That's my headache

only company's who have more than 25 staff fall under the minimum wage rule according to labour law

I agree...if you pick just private schools and private security companies that fall into this category....You think they can pay their staffs Majority are not paying NGN 30,000 as we speak. Wetin NLC and TUC don do for them

Yes, NLC should accept minimum wage above 60k as long as it's going to be paid to the senators too.

There's a Federal Minimum Wage which no State will go below the rate. comparing U.S to Nigeria, means No State in Nigeria will pay minimum wage below what Federal agrees to pay. Check through the link you shared.

NASS and the governors should be placed on a minimum wage of 62k, and you will see transformation.Walahi,we are not serious in this country.
