The Director General of the Progressive Governors’Forum , Salihu Lukman has told the Nigeria Labour Congress the fate of the country cannot be negotiated and decided on the street.
According to him, the protest will not stop the National Assembly from considering bills that have to do with decentralising the minimum wage structure.“We are not saying they should not protest but this protest is needless. I can guarantee that it is not going to stop the process in the National Assembly.
Lukman, who is a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress , argued “a structure that imposes the same minimum wage on a state as buoyant as Lagos and a state that is less buoyant like Zamfara or Yobe would impact negatively on productivity as workers in Lagos would feel shortchanged and therefore not give their total commitment to their job.”
“In fact, this country is where it is because they are not really applying themselves in the right direction. “Assuming every government pays N30, 000, will that solve the problem of workers? So, nobody should deceive anybody. We all have a lot to do in this country. It is not about dancing on the streets but they should develop their capacity.
People av long lost confidence in them for their flip-flopping projections. Their grouse most times end up with pittance from d FG. They never had a good fight ever since the old glory.
