The NGF are not serious. They are moving with convoys yet they can't pay them N100k and above .You can see why I said those touts used to make havoc during elections are paid meager amount just cause mayhem in the society . Also you can pay billions for Hajj and trafer abroad like a rich yet you can't pay your workers

Should we blame them or we Nigerians that have been allowing them to be doing anyhow for decades.

Why can't we at least reserve some energy to pounce on the state governors, senators and HOR instead of channeling all energy on FG

A lot of people don't even understand the economic consequences of high minimum wage.

Companies will retrench

Prices will go up

Nobody will be able to afford anything

The rich will be richer and the poor will be poorer

Sometimes, the way we do things in Nigeria is always questionable.

How can you be having discussion about increase in minimum wage without involving NGF? The same NGF have said they are not interested in paying anything above N70k


The NGF are part of that meeting by reason that each State Governor is expected to send a representative but they bluntly refused to partake in it. Many of them don't even pay #18,000, #30,000, as was approved the past years for minimum wage but when it comes to election, the money that would be shared would exceed the total wage bill in their States.
The local NLC in each State should be empowered to go on strikes that will make the respective governors/government pay the stipulated agreed salaries. In some States the NLC are only as good as nothing for they have already sold out themselves to the governors.
Any State Governor that says he can't pay #100,000 as minimum wage have no business sitting in that prestigious office.
Even if concessions might be given in some States, the truth is that whatever amount they bring up let a template as to how it will be expended be shown as well given the price of goods and services in that State.

May God bless the people's Governor Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki for raising the bar. If not for him, both federal and state governor would have been proposing 45k or 50k minimum wage.
In 2022, he raised the minimum wage from 30k to 40k and now to 70k without owing any worker or pensioner.
Meanwhile other states like Abia are still paying 18k as minimum wage.
Edo civil servants and pensioners, this is the time to repay Obaseki for standing by you.
Let us vote massively for Asue Ighodalo who happens to be the most qualified candidate. He has the capacity to move Edo to the next level.
APC Monday Okpebholo has since condemn the 70k minimum wage which means he will stop paying it if he becomes governor.
Edo people Vote wisely.

For Abia State, the minimum wage Alex Oti will start paying to all Abians will shock you, it will be above 100k.

In Abia State, the ghost workers in Abia State alone is a billion naira biz with NLC and the corrupt previous governors (Orji, Ikpeazu etc), that's why Oti is insisting for a biometric verification for all Abia state civil servants which NLC is against with a flimsy excuse.

Allow Alex Oti to clean up all the ghost workers in the pay roll first. Once he is through with the clean up, he will raise the minimum wage and it will be the highest in Nigeria, I can assure you that.

That is to say that average sales girl will be paid not less than 60k henceforth. Will there be a committee that will enforce the new wage ?

People know there are consequences, they only chose the better evil. What else can the masses fight for at this point that's realistic? Don't talk about fighting for prices of things to come down, when petrol price is 1,000 .

It's now confirmed the FG planted that #105k minimum wage story yesterday. Like I said, they wanted to gauge public reactions. The Nigeria Governors Forum has reacted. Now the private sector is reacting.

The NGF - #70k
Private Sector - #60k

The FG will set the minimum wage at #75k or #80k.


As long as it's not 6 -figure minimum wage, labour won't consider such or accept it

Are you sure Obaseki is paying workers very well, because I heard that Edo State civil Service is paying workers below 30k.

the person u heard it from is an enemy of the Edo state

Calling off that strike was a mistake, if the strike was on while the negotiation continues, then it would have been smooth for Labour. Even private sector and NGF will be forced to accept to resume their economic activities in their various endeavors.

Now, they will gang up and criminalise labour and force them to accept peanut they would not want before

This is another point to consider.
Right now I can’t afford to pay more than 60k to my staffs oh!

Then reduce staff or shut down. It is inhuman to be paying someone 60K a month with the kind of prices we have today.

Also consider this below. Minimunm wage in US is $30K a year and a Senator's pay is $174K.
While a Senator's package in Nigeria is 37.5M while minimum wage is (let's even say) 100K!!

Una go wait tire. You guys should simply go back to the strike mode. Now they want to hurriedly enact and sign a law prohibiting protesters not to get close to airports, so that they have access to run away when the people comes after them. One day e go be for this cesspit.
