THE legislative backing over the battle for the actualisation of N30,000 new minimum wage by Organised Labour, has been given a major boost after members of the House of Representatives, at their Tuesday sitting set the new National Minimum Wage as N30,000.

Labour will now shift its battle and lobby to the Senate for it to concur with the House of Representatives.

Once the Senate passes the N30,000 minimum wage Act into law, both chambers will harmonise if there are differences before returning the act to the president for assent.

Recall that members of the House reached the decision on the N30,000 a day after conducting a public hearing on the bill for a new national minimum wage.

The truth of the matter is that even the 30k is too small as a minimum wage in a country where legislatures 'earned' far more than what obtains virtually anywhere in the world. And sadly also, the 30k must be debated upon. Imagine!

These labour guys are not really living the union spirit. What stops them from striking until senate comes back to finish this business

Minimum wage is for the poor


Join my signature play the 20+odd posted now & forget about minimum wage

What's the use approving a figure most state governments wouldn't pay?


They weren't paying 18 is it 30 that will pay, na wa

Na dem sabi

It's one thing for the minimum wage to be approved, It's another thing for the states to be able to pay 30k. More backlog of salaries will be owed by some states this year. Nigeria needs diversification from oil and the allowances and salaries of our greedy leaders need to be slashed.

I pray they reconvene on time

Nigerians deserve more

Ok. It is well.

senate will approve the 30k minimum wages, and im so confident there will be high price of foods and increase of commodities in the country when BUHARI re-elect again as a president... Nigerians, vote wisely

Unserious senators after their election votes, forgetting that their destinies is in the hands of the masses. Ye Ye politicians everywhere.

Go share all the odds with your family members so your family can be the richest in Africa

Come FailBuhari 16 we're going to vote out the lifeless one

those dunderheads will take all the time they need because it doesnt involve sharing billions and taking bribes.

Please will this minimum wage affect private sector that is not under the union

will corpers also be paid 30k as alawee?

The house of representatives is inconsequential and wastage since their law can not have effect without the Senate's assign to the law be t the Senate can deliberate on motion and pass it as law without the green chamber.
