Resolve Minimum Wage Saga Like You Did To National Anthem - Falana Tells NASS by BeeBeeOoh(m): 7:42pm On Jun 03
Renowned Human Rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana, has suggested that the National Assembly could resolve the deadlock between the Federal Government and the Organized Labour over the new minimum wage saga by promptly passing a new National Minimum Wage Act, similar to how it swiftly enacted the National Anthem Act last week.

Falana spoke during a meeting between the leadership of the National Assembly, the delegation of the Federal Government, and the leadership of Organized Labour on Sunday, June 2, 2024.

He emphasised that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) calling for an indefinite nationwide strike was due to the Federal Government’s failure to implement a realistic and livable new minimum wage.

He pointed out that the expiration of the National Minimum Wage Act 2019 in April makes a long-overdue review necessary and imperative.

Falana specifically highlighted that Section 3(4) of the Act, which states that the national minimum wage expires after five years, should have been reviewed by the National Assembly in accordance with the Act’s provisions without needing external prompting.

According to him, “the current national minimum wage of N30,000, which was fixed in 2019 is no longer tenable. The Federal Government’s proposed wage award of N48,000 is inadequate and not in tandem with reality.”

However, the popular Lawyer said that some State governments, specifically Edo and Lagos, had already announced higher minimum wage of N70,000 per month.

Therefore, Falana urged the National Assembly to act promptly, similar to its approach with the National Anthem Act, in passing a new National Minimum Wage Act that aligns with the current economic conditions and fulfills the needs of Nigerian workers.

The maadt buffurns in Abuja won't do that. All they know is chorusing hi and the hi's have it when it comes to things that favours them.

If only Nigerians can rise up and revolt against its leaders. Unfortunately they can't do such anytime soon cos they're ignorant of the power they possess with its youthful population.

They will definitely be blind on this matter cos it doesn't have their immediate primary interest.


Very unpatriotic people — from the druggie Tinubu and all his executive to the clown Akpabio and all his gang of thieves in legislative.

They are swift to respond to mundane things like National anthem, but when issues of serious National concern are raised, they keep dragging their feet.

Why is it that any president that comes into leadership must have bad reputation. I have not seen any president, governor, senator, local government chairmen after their tenure, the masses collectively will strongly say PLEASE COME AND RULE US AGAIN WITHOUT YOU NO ONE ELSE.
Them swear for una. The country is just filled with incompetent fellos occupying legitimate position's ment for the competent one's.

Like NASS cares, especially with the stout, fair, and vociferous "Prayer-Mailbox" man at the helm.

Nigeria is an intricately complex nation strung together with the lace of ethnicity/religion and everyone, NASS and citizenry alike, is all out for his/her best interest.

Implementation of this National Minimum Wage will require a national pressure with enough pascal unit.. Hence, let NLC keep applying the pressure until something/someone gives way.

Who knows..

Buhari did better by signing a new minimum wage in March 2019 before it expired. Jonathan did the same. But Tinubu is busy singing the new national anthem somewhere.
