Shehu Sani

Former Kaduna lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has called on the Federal Government to address the issue of minimum wage to avoid strikes from organised labour. Sani made this call in an interview with Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.

He added that the issue of minimum wage increment is within the means of the federal government of Nigeria. “I don’t know how a Nigerian can survive with less than N100,000 if you break down what the government is offering N45,000-48,000, you will see how unrealistic it is by the time you factor in many things. The position taken by labour should be considered by the government. “It is one thing agreeing to increase the minimum wage and then the capacity to pay.

“But from what we have learnt since the withdrawal of subsidy, the government has more money and there’s no better way to effectively and productively spend it than to increase the minimum wage of Nigerian workers to a reasonable point where he can adequately take care of his family,” he said.
