You and one or two if your persons should go to your bank. You should go and wail and cry in the bank (no damage anything o), while you do this, the person(s) that followed you should make a video of the episode. Upload it to blogs, twitter, Instagram tagging the bank, CBN, EFCC The Nigerian Police etc. Do a follow up video of you explaining how your case is not being addressed by the bank. You'll most likely get positive feedback in a short while.


This is not a joke or an understatement of your situation. I do mean it as a serious consideration.

The bolded shows you're not paying attention or care to find out first what they law says concerning minimum wage review in Nigeria.. Where in the world are salaries reviewed to reduce it after 4 years? Do you even know what you're saying? Minimum wage is not only for government workers whom you considered in your ignorance unproductive, but also for those in the private sector.
Go and read what the minimum wage act says and come back here too tell they won't benefit. Use Google.

You can continue to wail , but nothing will stop the increase. It's law.

I cannot continue to argue with someone who is ignorant of what the law says. Good day.

What's the vague statement of civil servant turning to" oppress the private sector"

Wetin you smoke this evening?

triplechoice:


So you know better than the lawmakers who came up with the law which makes it mandatory that minimum wage in this country is reviewed once every four years.?

And do you also think they never carried out adequate consultation with economic experts to find out the economic implication of what was signed into law?

FYI, minimum wage in Nigeria is not a privilege,but the inalienable right of Nigerian workers to have their salaries reviewed compulsorily once every 4 years so they earn a living wage that's commensurate with what they put in daily in their different places of work.

You're certainly ignorant of the law, the minimum wage act, hence your ill-informed advice that workers salaries shouldn't be increased.


The Tinubu led federal government cannot help put increase salaries of Nigeria workers at this time, and they're not about to do so on their own to please workers as most of you assume. It's what the law mandates them to do they're trying fulfill. So keep your advice to yourself as it cannot supersede the law.

And also, contrary to what you think, the new minimum wage being proposed by labour is also binding on the private sector once it's passed into law. Any company operating in Nigeria that has 50 workers and above in its wage bill must pay minimum wage . That's what the law says. If you work in such a place and you don't receive what you deserve , take them to court,but not without reporting them first to the appropriate authorities for sanction.



Some private employees also receive pension , not from the government, but from pension companies managing pension deductions for them. Ask around and know what's happening around you before coming to Nairaland to offer suggestions and criticism.




You talked of inflation once salaries are increased, but businesses in this country are struggling and are on the verge of shutting down due to high cost of production and poor sales caused by the abnormal reduction in the purchasing power of the populace after fuel subsidy removal and the floating of the naira.

If the situation persists and workers salaries are not increased immediately and quickly enough to match with current realities,the economy might collapse,as they the manufacturers and traders cannot continue to produce or do business with very little sales coming to them for their products and services

The effect will be job losses and reduction in tax revenue to government.

U are saying rubbish and u don't know who to tell you 😒... I guess u are not a civil servant, and I'm very sure dat u are pa[color=#550000][/color]ined their salary is about increased and that u wouldn't be part of it......

Common sense will let u know that people are suffering and that there's need to boost their purchasing power in a country that wen the price of goods goes higher, it will be difficult to reduce its price even wen the naira value appreciate over dollar rate.

wwwihy:

They said FCT, you are saying Abuja. Where was it written Abuja. Are you this dull?

Maybe you don't know the differences between the two

na2016:


You don't know what you are saying. The minimum wage needs to be increased and the Federal government needs to be pressured to do things that will reduce inflation/exchange rate. Also, the minimum wages can now be based on states for state workers and private sectors in such states while we also have a national minimum wage for FG worker

Such a sad story, you people should have insisted on tracing the money by asking her for her bank transactions and every other details.

Trendy247:
My sister's handbag was snatched at Knifepoint by an Aboki man around airforce junction in Port-harcourt. The bag contained her phone, Zenith bank ATM card and other valuables.

Unfortunately, her phone wasn't locked. The thief transferred all her money from her Zenith bank account to her OPay account, then quickly created an OPay card and withdrew the funds by midnight.

We were able to track the exact location of the phone the following day using her google account, before the thief removed the account.

We urgently need help in identifying and tracing the individual(s) who assisted with the OPay card creation and withdrawal.

we have called Opay customer care, but they are not willing to assist.
