Tinubu Will Review ₦70,000 Minimum Wage – Gbajabiamila by Ofunaofu(op): 3:21pm On Jun 25

Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has stated that the Federal Government is working towards reviewing workers’ salary.

The former Speaker of the House of Representatives stated this on Thursday in Abuja at an event organized by Working People United.

He said that the N70,000 minimum wage which was approved by thr President Bola Tinubu administration in 2024 is no longer in line with the reality of things in the country.

“N70,000 wage, which was a milestone in 2024 must be honestly reassessed against today’s realities,” he said.

The former lawmaker added, “I can confirm to you that when the time comes to begin the process of reviewing the national minimum wage, this administration will approach that endeavor not as an adversary of Labour, but as a partner.

“President Tinubu has said time and again that the custodians of the nation’s machinery deserve a fair and commensurate wage, and as you all well know by now, this is the president who means precisely what he says and does exactly what he means.

“It must be said that good governance is not a performance stage by government for the benefit of a passive audience, it’s a partnership between those who govern and those who are governed.

“No where is that partnership more vital than the relationship between government and the working people of Nigeria.

“It is with this understanding in mind that I ask the leaders of organized labour and the members of working people united to remain what you have so often been at your finest, partners in progress rather than antagonist in perpetuity, let us choose to dialog over disruption, because as we have proved again and again, we achieve far more when we visit together than when we retreat, retreat to our separate corners.”

DON'T REVIEW MINIMUM WAGE OF N70000 BUT USE THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY TO FORCE DOWN
1, PETROL PRICE TO N750 PER LITRE
2, DOLLAR TO NAIRA AT $1 TO N750 AND
3, CEMENT PRICE AT N750 PER BAG.

Sir, please use the supposed salary increase to subsidizing the cost of petroleum products, by then the cost of living will drop drastically.
Because if you increase the minimum wage, other wares and the market woman will increase her wares too. By then the aim and purpose will have been defeated.

Thank you.

The dingbat is grasping at straws.

After carrying our the most deceptive wage increase in the history of this nation, the dingbat thinks government workers can trust him?

One problem with the dingbat is that he cannot stop being cunning in his ways. Everything about him has an ulterior motive. Always manipulative and deceptive.

I beg stop wasting your time mentioning Peter Obi in a serious matter like this. Peter to I that will not likely win any two local government election outside south east in 2027 is whom you are wasting your time over? We are no longer in 2023, don't waste your time. Talk something better in other areas relating to Obi, but when it comes to 2027 election, stop wasting your time; is not yet his time

Even zone Bees are still on 30k
The 70k ended up audio. Most FG workers simply hit a flat rate increment of 40k on their salary instead of consequential adjustment

Whenever some people open their mouths to say that 200k or even 300k is not realistic, I always sense people who are still very gullible and are already affected by stark poverty. Because I don't understand how the senators will be earning in millions and even some people lay hold on billions many times in a month and then you think ordinary citizens are not entitled to 300k monthly, which is still not going to be sufficient in the cities where things are very costly. angry

Yes o.

The master strategist who can’t pay N35,000 salary award for three years is what his renewed hopelessness followers expect to increase minimum wage?

Maybe he will announce it a few days before the election to fool those who think like Bwala. Maybe it will work for them. shocked

Re: Tinubu Will Review ₦70,000 Minimum Wage – Gbajabiamila by bentenny(m): 9:01pm On Jun 25*

Before data boys start flooding this thread with accolades of their paymaster,let's do some math

In 2023 in the first quarter,the naira dollar exchange was #450.
Minimum wage was #30.000
Dollar value was $67

Current minimum wage is #70,000
Dollar value @#1370 is $51

This shows that the value of current minimum wage is less than that of 2023.

If the presidency is going to realistically make any upward review of minimum wage,the value of the minimum wage in dollars should be between $95 - $120 which in naira is 130,000 - 160,000.

Anything less is a scam just like the 'increased' faac allocation to states.

Upward minimum wage review should be based on value not volume.
