I think NLC is making a wrong choice by asking for increase in workers minimum wage.

The truth is that: with the increase in minimum wage, every other sector of the economy would adjust to balance the increment.

The fuel price will increase
The cost of transportation will increase
The price of food stuff... Inflation...
Virtually everything.

So what will NLC achieve by this demand. They will only take the country one step forward, and two steps backward.

Instead of asking for the increment, they should have sought to stabilize the economy so that with the little money a worker receives, he will be able to achieve more with it.

They should seek to put an end to corruption in government. Reduce the money being squandered at the national assembly, make the governors more accountable. Stabilize the price of petrol by making sure our refineries are working. And many more.

The proposed strike will do the country no good, even if it achieves its demands.

The funny thing is that the Public & Civil servant are the most corrupt citizen of this country... if the econony is stable thing will be fine.

Corruption is the real issue, if mechanism is on ground to silent corruption it will be better. Doing this we have to start to put politician into civil servant pay roll.

Nigeria needs to be torn down, then rebuilt.
NLC is doing the right thing.

We need massive infrastructural development,less capital on recurrent expenditure,enabling environment and so many more

Who told you increase in the minimum wage will shoot up the prices of goods and services in the country?

This myth ochaestrated by anti civil servants to the minds of the public will not be accepted in this modern age.

Please go back and read your economics again.

Is it the government that's already complaining that fuel subsidy is too much that will increase minimum wage? If they ever agree to pay minimum wage, they will remove the fuel subsidy.


Or is it the governors that are owing workers 11 months salaries that will increase minimum wage? Those ones will use taxes to collect it back.

Whoever gives it will give with the right hand and collect it back will the left hand. The workers will end up having nothing.

It will even make things worse for the unemployed.

Exactly. This will help.

If NLC go on a strike to put politicians into civil service payroll, they can get it and it will reduce corruption and move us forward
