Labour leader, Joe Ajaero storms out of meeting

THE Organized labour on Wednesday stormed out of the minimum wage committee meeting with the Federal Government over the later’s offer of N48,000 new wage.

Recall that the organized labour had made a demand of N615,000 as the new minimum wage and had given the government up till May 31 to conclude negotiations on new living wage.

The Tripartite Committee on New National Minimum Wage resumed negotiations on Wednesday.

Vanguard was reliably informed that representatives of the organized labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, were enraged over the government offer.

Professor Theophilus Ndubuaku, who is one of the representatives of the NLC told Vanguard that, “we asked whether the N45,000 is for transport, food, clothing, housing or for what.

“So we just told them that since they are not serious, we better just leave, so we stormed out of the place.”

He said that the government offer was presented to them by the Permanent Secretary, Secretary to the Government of the Federation Office.

Tinubu is a failure. You took the price of fuel from 190 to 800 and still want workers to paid 48k. A disaster like no other

After working for one month they give u one bag of garri as salary fogeting that workers pay Rent, transport to work every working day and they do feed their selves. Will politician give their girl friends as low as N50, 000 for one night, not to talk of one month.

This government is wicked . They spent N500million for sitting just to come up with a paltry N54,000?

Remove the current minimum wage of N35000 from N54,000 and you will see they added almost nothing.

Labour should declare an indefinite strike immediately

48k as minimum wage is good o, i dont have a problem but politicians salary should not exceed 200k too, and their allowance should be reviewed too especially that nonsense called hardship allowance

Unserious person

Very useless and incompetent fools.

House of rep re earn 14 million monthly for absolutely doing nothing. This not including the amount they steal from bogus constituency project and budget padding.

Some of them even spend months without attending a single sitting in the house.

They spend most of their time in hotels and guest house with their chicks enjoying their life.

But this wicked nincompoop are proposing amounts so pitiful that it cannot even buy one bag of rice.

Nigeria is a hopeless place filled with the most of wicked souls you can find on the universe.

Everyone knows federal government is not serious about minimum wage 1 full year you can't propose minimum wage

54k is 33 dollars

To escape the poverty line u need to earn and spend 2 dollar per day

So minimum wage should be 80 dollars minimum

See how we went from 120 dollars under PDP to less than 50 dollars under APC

Sad really sad

You are right but mimum wage has never been equivalent of 180 dolls in Nigeria in recent years

Tinubu's regime of evil. Nigerians were warned

Itzlinda:

Sorry 120 dollars

Sorry for the laughter


So Edo State will be paying far higher than the FG?

Oba ghato kpere, ise!!!!


Judges to take home over 50m as allowances annually, tripartite committee to pocket 500m just to fix 48k MW

It's like someone who goes to buy a car from a car stand

Buyer: Oga how much you dey sell the carmy

Seller: This car na full option o. Everything dey work. Because I know you before, I go give u 8.6million last

Buyer: ah ah.....bros. that amount too much na. You go take 200 thousand. Na my last price be that

Buyer:


You can complete it........

The question is most Nigerian federal , state and local government workers , how productive are they.

Does there input into the system generate that amount or they just want to be paid for doing nothing

The problem with all of you quoting me, is you are all suffering from extreme cases of whataboutism.

And I insist above 60% of government workers are not productive.

Abi yet they allocate millions for themselves. These politicians should be put on the same salary scale they put workers and scrap out the bogus allowances, let those who genuinely want to serve be there for service not for money.

Avoiding debates and public events, manipulating the voting process nationwide, and still failing to deliver results after 335 days is a clear indication of ineffective leadership.


Tinubu is a failure

What?! With this current economy realities? I now realise that this current istration doesn't consider the plight of the Nigeria worker.

So we just told them that since they are not serious, we better just leave, so we stormed out of the place.”

Good point raised by labour.
Now,
When are we going back

Haaaaaa

Nigeria politicians can embarrass people

in this current situation anything below 80k as minimum wage will not be enough. i just resign from a factory work where i am being paid 30k monthly. in the morning alone i spend 700 on food

Stealing and looting will increase. Why would you ruin the economy like this and be asking civil servants to take 48k naira minimum wage? Wicked people everywhere! At this level of inflation, they deserve nothing less than 300k naira as minimum living wage

Money is not the issue but value of money

The more the money given the more inflation this is a consuming nation

Nice one Mr Joe Ajero...

If the Government cannot put more on the current technical #65,000 (#30,000 minimum wage and the #35,000 wage award increase)...then, Labour should not accept anything lower.

Fair deal.

₦48k is it for Eba?

Our politicians are more wicked than devil.
It still beats my imagination how some morons still this evil people.
Tinubu settled himself with yatch
He used SUV's and silenced Senators and Reps
He settled his wife
Budgeted huge amount of money for renovation of Shettima's quarter.
The list is endless.

Ok

Ronus progressives would still have something to defend with and they are extremely poor Kai.

It is for ipapanu
