Government just reduce the price of fuel,disel and revalue the naira and make the naira have value against the dollars and all of this will reduce the prices of food stuffs and goods and services and there will be no inflation and even a worker earnings 20k will not complain of hunger hardship suffering because the naira has value and there is no inflation

We Nigerians fantasise a lot. A cleaner on level 1 step 1 collecting 540k monthly. How much should a director earn in that case? 25m I guess. So where will this money come from?

Very unserious and unreasonable union leaders.

The federal will fix 60k as minimum wage
Re: Proposed Minimum Wage By NLC Across Geopolitical Zones by Tzar(m): 8:36am On Mar 08
Minimum wage should be determined by states.
Constitutional amendment is needed here.
Let each state attract the talent it deserves and reward them accordingly.
This Nigerian pseudo federalism and joke should stop!

I like that Nwigbo's analysis on Enugu's situation.
When it was 30k in 2019, painter buckets of food grains were averagely less than N500, now they're between 4k to 6k; decent house rent for 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom are now something like 300-350k and 400-600k respectively; before both were less than 400k.

How many civil servant can afford a descent property if government decides to pay 60k or even 100k as the new minimum wage? Abeg, they rather pay 150-200k if they want to be stingy and continue live in their embezzlement lifestyles. Force it on all sectors in country to implement or go to jail. There should be review of new minimum wage every 2 years not 5 years, the country is getting worse day by day. And it should be state-based because the economic realities of each states differs.

NLC's Proposed minimum wage:
SE N540k, NE N560k , SS N850k, NC N709k, NW N485k, SW N794k

After all the initial and final negotiation,

SE N65-70k

NE N70k

SS N110-120k

NC 65-70k

NW 65-80k

SW 90-100k


My opinion

Some states are finding it difficult to pay 30k.. is it 500 k and above they will able to pay? ...

Because the state governors are looting the money and living a luxurious lifestyle. That's the fact, that that they can't pay. If the citizens are serious they will blockades shutdown the state and you will see those states can pay it.
How much is brand-new Toyota Parado that they share and other allowances they enjoy or the over a billion security votes they collect every month and do nothing! Think about that.

The comments here are troubling. So politicians can get millions in salaries and allowances and pensions but its difficult to pay minimum wage, right?

I no see these comments when senate request for thier own millions o.

And when they were approving billions for luxury cars.

They would be inviting even worse inflation than Zimbabwe had at a time. I have said it severally that the solution is not increase in minimum wage but decrease in maximum wage earnable in the polity. Once you increase wages all other price indices go up, cancelling the effect. You are in effect carrying more money that has not enhanced ur purchasing power.

That's how miserably foolish you are. The money will come from the various warehouses and underground tanks your governors and government officials hide away your money for termites to feast on rather than you having a chance to survival.

I like this.

NLC themselves know these figures is not realistic but they had to propose it.

Because if they propose 100k, last last na 35-40k FG go pay.

But as it is now, na 100-120k them go finally settle for
We want total freedon as indigeneous people. Nigeria must be restructured & power decentrised or face disintegration. The politicians can accept to pay even N500,000 and still systematically increase the price of things to get back the money. We no longer trust them.

All these money just to Sidon for office and gossip, watch dstv, chop bole with fish and do eye service work,

Na to outsource the civil service work to private company's now, because most of these people no get 1 drop of value for their body

I suggest a downward review of minimum wage,

The total of the activities of these some these workers for the month fit run for only one week

Worker for some state dey go work only two days for week, some workers no dey reach their lga office self, na only wen chairman enter town dem the go form work

Reason am, if I lie make dem install cctv for all the 744 lga plus 74 state offices nation wide, the total cost na just under #500,000,000

You say all of these because you're an outsider who don't know exactly what goes on within the civil service in Nigeria, and you're not alone in this kind of talk which is based on half truth.

The truth of the matter is that corrupt Nigerian politicians are the major cause why most civil servants in the country are idle.

Elected government officials in Nigeria both at the state and federal level don't like to follow due process , laid down procedure ,which ensures accountability . Most of them are there to steal for the short period of time they occupy those offices and don't want anyone to challenge or stop them.

And so, instead of allowing civil servants to do the work for which they're employed, they bypass them and give it to outsiders, who will cover for them and muddle things up so that nothing is easily traced after their tenure has expired.

At time in this country, the Ministry of works, especially at that state level were directly responsible for minor roads repairs, but they have been sidelined by corrupt politicians ruling the country.The people in those ministrys employed to carry out those minor repairs are doing nothing but still receiving salaries because the politicians know the truth: They caused it and so can't sack them .

If you conplain, you can be sacked. So because of this , civil servants have learnt to keep quiet about what's going on and collect their monthly salaries which is not even enough compared what politicians are stealing everyday.

Try dey update yourself, the FG already proposed 70k which NLC rejected.

And you believed they would pay 70k? Lol
You know how many times these government have lied through their teeth and gullible Nigerians believed them? Gosh! for f**k sake, you're in Nigeria and above 30yrs, how the f**k do you believe these people?
Re: Proposed Minimum Wage By NLC Across Geopolitical Zones by stasius: 8:44pm On Mar 08
Government won't give more than 100k.

grin grin grin grin cheesy grin
Let's watch and see.
Re: Proposed Minimum Wage By NLC Across Geopolitical Zones by Emzedz: 12:35pm On Mar 09
asksteve:


We are our own problem in this country.
Can u imagine people are already helping the FG to trim the proposed wage to 100k on the excuse that there is no money.

Do they know the take home pay and allowances of president, senators, reps, governors down to councillors many of whom are either school cert or pry school cert holders?

Do they know the rate at which the government in the last 9yrs has hiked the cost of living in this country without comisorate wage increase?

For me I have no issue with the proposed figures, by the NLC leadership even though I don't like their betrayer style when it come to fighting for the workers they represent cos this issue should have hit front burner since 2016 or 2017.

It is either the government pays the said wage or bring down the cost of living to comisorate with whatever amount they propose and if the cost of living should increase again so will the wage of the civil servant.

Thank u.
Well said.. its quite unfortunate the narrative of some ignorant minds.
