But what system guarantees that the savings on maximum wage will be put to good use?
ValCon888:
They keep talking about minimum wage when the major issue is the maximum wage collected by these politicians.

Reduce all their salaries and allowances and see how this country will have enough funds to execute critical projects.

Any bussines that cannot pay its staff the new minimum wage does not deserve the right to exist. It's an extortion racket and not a bussiness.

What does the law says? That the minimum wage will only apply in a situation where an outfit has not fewer than 20 staffs.
According to your senator, even though still a slavery wage sanctioned by the nation, this deal is across the board. undecided

It is greediness that's the problem of private business owners in Nigeria. If you make profit of say 20k daily for 26days, you'll have 520k. If you pay your sales boy 70k and maybe spend extra 100k for other monthly costs and reinvest 100k, you'll have 250k left.

Mind you, I am just being modest with figures here because I know that many businesses generate more profits than I stated above.

But they all want to live in opulence while their employees suffer like slaves!
For you to make a 20k profit, you may have to generate N100,000-200,000 per day. If you are into Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), the margin is even smaller as you may have to make a total sales of about 400,000 to gain a N20,000 profit.

I pity parents this September. Gatemen n minders including teachers salary will be nothing short of 70k. School fees how fa na
That's how far tinubu will succeed in ruining the nation, to eradicate the hardship and suffering of Nigerians, fuel price should be reduced, then watch everything fallback to their places. The fuel subsidy removal is the biggest scam ever since the history of Nigeria

It is an inadequate understanding of how the economy works that makes people believe they can not pay as employers. There is no kind of job existing in Nigeria that does not exist in high income countries and when minimum wage is imposed, every employer pay in those countries. The market will take care of everything

Something that NLC was demanding about #630,000 as minimum wage which people were disappointed that they settled for #70,000 in the end. grin. It seems like in human affairs, every solution opens up another problem.
And tinubu asked them to get over 600k minimum wage and fuel price raised or settle at 70k.

Think about what would have been the state of this already failed country if they had pick over 600k mw and fuel price raised, it would be disastrous for a common man by that time, a cup of garri will be sold at nothing less than 10k.

But hold up, I thought payment of workers are based on their level of experience/qualifications? This Tinubu/Akpabio government is clueless, a failure of imagination.

Inflation is not caused by wage increase. It is caused by the value of the currency dropping as a result of money printing by government. When you print money too much, prices will rise but price can also rise or fall gradually as a result of gradual increase or decrease in cost of production. However the recent price increase in Nigeria is inflation meaning a mass printing of the naira. If money is low in circulation or scarce, prices of goods will be automatically low.

AKPABIO CAN'T BE SERIOUS. IT IS A CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT AND ALL CONTACTS ARE BASED ON OFFER AND ACCEPTANCE OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE CONTRACT.

Government should be the broker of all employment offers and no wage should be lower than the approved minimum wage

NO. THAT'S WHY WE DISTINGUISH BETWEEN:-
PUBLIC SCHEME
PRIVATE SCHEME AND
PUBLIC PRACTICE.
PUBLIC PRACTICE IS MORE AMENABLE TO JUDICIAL PRACTICE.
