Honestly civil servants are not finding things easy with the present situation, my opinion is that the salaries of civil servants should be reviewed while that of paramilitary anr parastatals be looked into cos there is so much difference between that of parastatals, paramilitary and civil service. God bless Nigeria and help President Buhari.

Truly, wage increase and price control can check corruption

Brainless Twerps

Wage increase to an acceptable level => Inflation => Rise in cost of goods and service => same old shyte

socialmediaman:
Not necessarily. The government sector is not actively involved in production so wage increase should not affect production cost. While demand may affect cost of goods, Wage increase in the government sector may actually spur production and subsequent reduction of prices of consumed products

NLC must be full of totally incompetent people who are totally unlearned,can't read or can't understand what responsibilities they have. How would the addition of a few thousand help the workers in these perilous times.inflation will.render such an increase.useless. A nation that has lost a significant.part.of.its revenue base is being asked to incur more deficit by borrowing to finance an increase in recurrent expenditure . Jeez. Where is the value such an increase will bring ?

Katastrofy:
THE Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC has demanded for a review of the present minimum wage paid to workers in accordance with the economic realities.

The Comrade Ayuba Wabba-led faction of NLC yesterday in Abuja after its National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting also said that an increment of workers salary would help to reduce corruption in the polity.

He said that it was unacceptable for Nigerians including the labour force to live in abject poverty while few privileged people continue to steal the nation’s resources and starch it in foreign banks.

Comrade Wabba who assured that the labour movement would lead the protest to ensure that the federal government recovered the looted funds said that NLC would organise a symbolic national one day protest to ensure that such funds in the hands of individuals were recovered.

He explained that the NEC would demand from government and the tripartite partners for the review of the minimum wage.

He also noted that the pitiable state of the nation’s economy has become of great concern to the labour union as it has affected the working class and had led to many states not being able to pay salaries as at when due.

While appreciating the efforts of the Council of States for approving the bailout for states that had been unable to pay salaries to workers, he said that NLC was disturbed that despite the federal government gesture, the effect of the bailout was yet to be seen.

According to him, while in some states relative progress had been made, few states had remained chronic, adding that the Central Working Committee, CWC of the union was of the view that payment of salary should be a matter of national priority and that the NEC would not fold arms watching workers not to be paid as at when due.

For the states that had received the bailouts, Wabba called on the Federal Government to also put in place mechanism to monitor how the funds were utilised and also frowned at the development where some banks withheld the bailout fund as a result of the indebtedness of some the states to the banks.

NLC condemned the waiver granted to some establishments in the country which had denied the country money while workers were subjected to pay taxes, and said that nobody should be allowed to evade taxes in any form.

He urged the judiciary to hasten the trials of those indicted for looting the nation’s treasury and other allegation of treasury and also told the anti-corruption agency to always device a process to promptly responding to allegations of corruption.

Topman0001:
NLC is thinking in a very wrong way, an idle hand they say is the devil's workshop. Imagine what the decline in corruption and crime rate would have been if the million unemployed people are gainfully employed. Can u remember the imigration exam that was written and job seekers were stapeded. Those that wrote the exam were several HND, Bsc and masters degree
holder. If Nigeria does not take care of the unemployed first, crime and corruption will remain.

tosyne2much:
It will definitely reduce corruption

christyemi2008:
thanks my brother. Drastically.
