The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has revealed its plans to negotiate the new minimum wage to either N100,000 or N200,000.

This is coming hours after the organised labour announced the postponement of its nationwide strike for 30 days which was initially scheduled to commence on Tuesday, October 3.

Recall that the NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had last week announced the commencement of a nationwide strike over the failure of the government to yield to its demand as a result of the removal of the fuel subsidy.

Announcing the suspension, the NLC President, Joe Ajaero on Tuesday said the strike was suspended to give the Federal Government the opportunity to fulfil its part of the agreement that had been reached with organized labour.

He also mentioned that the N35,000 wage award, which is part of the government’s offer, is not a new minimum wage and suggested that the new minimum wage could potentially be as high as N200,000.

Ajaero speaking on Channels TV said, “So, it is not a minimum wage but it is a wage added to the minimum wage. So, should we in March, April, or before that time negotiate the new wage to be N100,000 or N200,000, it would be inscribed as minimum wage law which should be the law in existence.

“Certain things would come into play when we discuss it – inflation, cost of living. Every other thing would come into it.

“We would not go to ask for N65,000. We would go for a realistic amount because N65,000 is about $70 which is not up to minimum wage.”

According to him, for a new minimum wage to take effect, the National Assembly will play a crucial role.

Ajaero added, “The minimum wage is a product of law. Until it is legislated in the National Assembly, it is not a minimum wage.”

Joe Ajero's palm has been greased.

NLC to negotiate minimum wages From 33k to 100k-200k…. NLC no even consider 50k-80k, they went straight to 100k-200k… We too dey play for dis country.
Let ask ourselves these question? What are foreigners buying from us? What are we producing in this country? What goods are exporting out to other countries to make more money?
Nigeria 🇳🇬 is not making money and you want FG to increase minimum wages to 100k-200k.

Tinubu is still looking for investors to come invest in Nigeria 🇳🇬 to make money.

NLC wey be audio

Toothless Lion

asking price I guess. This confused istration won't upscale it beyond 50k

Nonsense.

Just know that you're on your own if you're unemployed or work under private sector.

Chai..





Obodo b'igwe!


...may be, they can now manage to buy bread of N1,200 once a month from the salary.


...but the money in the proposal will run into Trillions every month.

Where Nigeria go get money dey pay?


Gbagaagbaa.

The FG would only laugh at this.

Do not be deceived, The NLC are not fighting for our rights, they are fighting for their pockets.

But,

The system has been designed to make us believe (through modern education) we have to work and expect the salary.

Modern education is useless!

Men,

Making money is tied to VALUE,

Get a skill, fine tune it to become a talent.

Begin to Monetize your skill,

Learn sister skills to your skill to compliment your main skill,

Monetize your skills.

This way you create value and your value attracts wealth.

There's an important post about VALUE at the Telegram Channel called IAJ ONLINE

Search and that channel,

Unlearn, Learn, Relearn.

While the salary increase is fine, Government should work more on enabling environment for the betterment of all.

Good Road network, security, social amenities, empowerments for small scale businesses and all that, it should not be about salary earners alone, millions of Nigerians are not even employed talk less of earning salaries before we even talk of salary increase.

Nigerians irrespective of our employment status deserve better life, either young or old.

God Bless Nigeria.

Any salary scale less than 500k at this time mehn u r on a long tin.

Okay o, N200k for unproductive Nigerian government workers. The set of people that resume work 1pm and close 3pm.

Where is the money going to come from

People think countries just manufacture money. If you are not productive you cannot have money just like a company.

Nigeria na Cruise. Suffering and still cruising

Considering the value of naira, the minimum wage shld really be up to 100k

K

E no go 50k

Who will fight for private company

Federal govt workers are only 0.5% of the entire population of the country.. what about we the unemployed, self-employed, the aged people and alot of categories who are not part or classified as FG workers or civil Service.
