Minimum Wage: FG's N62,000 Proposal a Joke, a Collective Insult to Nigerian Workers - Ezediaro

N62,000 will not do anything for a Nigerian worker today. FG's claim that N62,000 represents a 100% increase from the last minimum wage is disingenuous because the value of N30,000 in 2019 is higher than the value of N62,000 proposed today. However
Labour needs to understand the realities we live in now, N494k or N250k will not fly in this economy.

No one is against the N62,000 if the price of commodities in the market was regulated, housing units for workers was accessible in part competition with private ones, the primary health care section were functioning with the workers considered and the educational sector if not free was at least affordable for civil servants amongst other things. With the behavior of our leaders, I see no hope in sight for greatness they lost, when the giant of Africa became a laughing stock amongst the league of Nations with a despicable comparison with a country like Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda and other African countries doing remarkably well, taking strides in the right direction to show that there is an African dream to be realized besides the heart wrenching assertions being meted on the populace by our so called leaders.

For example the learned gentle man, lawyer only mentioned tourism and hospitality in Cross River as one area for productivity improvement. What of the other key industries like Agriculture, manufacturing, food and beverages, textile and foot wear, pharmaceuticals, Construction, Atomobile, and services etc. He was shy to mention provision of basic infrastructure like electricity, fuel, roads, water etc. Productivity improvements can not be possible under such harsh and unfriendly business environment. If the four dilapidated refineries and over thirty power plants and bad roads can be fixed, Productivity will rise astromicaly and unemployment rate , exchange rate , inflation rate and poor salary and wages and other economic indicators will naturally stabilise.

[@emmanuelessiet8335]

Listening to this guest at your morning show suggesting that labour unions should fight for increased productivity, proves to me that he doesn’t know what he is talking about, on this point at least. If labour fights for increased productivity what would be the duty or responsibility of the employers and government? His argument proves that in Nigeria we very good at misplacing priority and assigning the right jobs to the wrong people. As for the state governments who claim they can’t pay, it is because they waste state funds on playing Father Christmas to their friends and partners in the crime of defrauding their states. What a shame!

[@emmanuel5332]

The solution to guard against sellers raising their price upon increase in wages is to have the Federal Government establish a Price and Wages Control within 14 days of the announcement of the new living minimum wage.

How many people are currently below the new minimum wage?

[@TheAdeniran1]

A high (rightly high) minimum wage will cripple the economy. Workers will be laid off in droves. Let us be smart. Reduce the government official's pecks to quarterly, find money and pay the people cost of living payments. Going the minimum wage route is just following a wrong direction.!!
