i believe that was one of the promises that got the last nlc strike called off. hope it is done soon to reduce the burden of high prices and cash flow to other dependants.

When has this government ever implemented anything for the benefit of the masses?

i believe the govt means well for the citizenry but the slowness of action pulls down faith in it. take for instance the yuan swap deal that could have reduced high cost of the dollar tremendously and made income for us as the african clearing house.

Keep waiting and believe this government at ur own peril..Later they will ask u for evidence or proof where the president agreed to pay #45,000 minimum wage.

it even seems the civil service is a civil service albatross as decisions are made on a wednesday and psycologically peeps believe it would take till monday before anything can happen. well the govt is an offshoot of its people.

nezer83 i hope they do not go back on their words o. a lot cannot pay children fees now considering most universities are increasing fees.

I think that will be part of their 2019 bogus campaign promises.

We will implement the New Minimum Wage if Voted In.

Implement indeed,do we hv nlc in Nigeria again

Op it seems you are not a very realistic person ..you still don't know How govt earns income ..where do you expect a struggling govt to get 45k from ..have you even noticed that almost all the state govts can't afford the 19th minimum wage again and yet you think 45k is possible ..it nice if it can be done but let's wash our face and face reality it's not possible for now

thats means the masses should go and die, that is what u are trying to say, my brother they should go and borrow from developed countries, since its recession when things balance from the recess they should refund it, but for now, the masses are not just suffering but dying, workers ve now turn in2 begars even d people dey are begging from does not even have to give to them, what a country.

lolz, we were already in a recession when the promise was made. actually why the strike even came up. i wonder why nlc fell for it.

lolz, seems they have found their voice at last. With the dollar rise fuel price increase cannot be avoided. Another deal would just be offered them to calm them.

next would be fuel scarcity, the nlc had better focus on increase in salary faa.
