Advertisement“Yes the inflation has increased worldwide and it is not confined to Nigeria, that is why in many jurisdictions, it is an adjustment of wages right now.Advertisementact, right now has a clause for the review, which we started then, I do not know whether it is due next year or 2024.
“But before then, the adjustment of wages will reflect what is happening in the economy, just as the government has started the adjustment with the Academic Staff Union of Universities .” On his part, Festus Osifo, president, Trade Union Congress , said workers have been dominated and oppressed by the ruling class.
Osifo also said the N30,000 minimum wage was no longer feasible in the current economic circumstances, adding that workers’ transportation fare to work for a month is in excess of their take home pay. “The value of the N30, 000 minimum wage has been eroded. It cannot take workers to work again,” he said.

This man is evil and demonic
To talk is cheap but implementation of such decision is what they cannot solved with ASSU till now. May God see us through in this political quagmire....
Uve not finished paying arrears of d last minimum wage oga
This man tell lies like a kid. Old man of his age opening teeth to lie. Now they will say we should respect elders, which elder want respect and will not respect himself. If you increase minimum wages and the old 18,000 still has much more value, what is the essence
Liars
Political campaign has started. APC with their 'WAYO'
Raise minimum wage where states refused to pay the 30k minimum wages till date. Some state like Enugu added just 3k for workers as minimum wage. God help Nigeria. VoteWisely
Why not drop it to allow more persons meet basic needs? We have already a growing unemployment, malnutrition and poverty rates. Why this method? Less money needs to be in circulation
Don't raise Minimum Wage, Mr Minister. It won't help. You shld rather reverse the negative trend to the level your APC Fed Govt met it on May 29, 2015. From all indications, raising mini. wage won't address the rising insecurity and inflation, among other ills that Nigeria faces.
The NLC should be demanding for this but.....
Campaign has begun. Criminals
We will 2018 We will 2019 We will 2020 We will 2021 We will 2022 2023: We couldn't because our tenue was up
....by printing more money. Idi Amin of Uganda exhausted that juvenile economic strategy many decades ago and literally turned his country's currency into 'tissue paper'. Ask those who were old enough to know.
Hahaha! Promise made in the heat of passion. Check, one 16 years old must have touched his beard, which led him to make that promise. Haha! Once he comes to his senses, the tune will surely change. Wait for it.
Easier to say than done. Lie no dey tired una
In a decent society, minister of education and labour should have been fired. At this stage, the commander in chief should have resigned. How do you close universities for a whole calendar year? fkeyamo still have got to talk about APC retaining power at the center.
Mugu hunting season don start
Campaigns come in different forms and that's what these govt officials are doing now. but it won't work. When my state govt cant even pay D minimum wage of 30k. Scammers, fraudsters have come again with another unrealizable promises abeg make una rest APC politicians.
Go settle ASUU first
Na waaa for these people we get as leaders , for the pass 7 years wey u bi minister , u never talked about minimum wages , now dat compaign is around , u dey vomit nonsense
Should be left for the next Administration.
Talk it's cheap
Its easier said ?
Daffft
How will you increase when most states are yet to implement the 30k minimum wage?
Same old stories
Election time don reach... Reckless and unrealistic promises will be made... But with ZERO intentions to implement them... Scam!
Congratulations in advance
this clown again
When
To meet current realities! Government saying what it can't do. Meanwhile,the last minimum wage increment is yet to be fully implemented
Your head concrete dey inside.
Necessary!
I guess this is campaign speech. Nigerians have suffered in the hands of APC.. SMH
It's not just to raise minimum wage, will you be able to pay it?
Instead of reducing cost of governance you want to reduce the wages of poor citizens who can barely afford food items in this highly inflated economy. What manner of evil have this administration not experimented on Nigerians?
Short men with their short vision 😜
None sense man !!
And fund the raise how
