Obviously no matter what the govt does some will never be satisfied because agenda must agend.

Govt should just allow the strike at this point jare. Let us all stay at home for at least one week. In the end nothing much would change and we would all go back to our normal lives when hunger wire everybody.

Please be reasonable!
What is his definition of low grade workers? What is the percentage as compared to other populace? Why not address the minimum wage issue instead of this sketchy deceleration which will only be use to further embezzle funds? It is a declaration & not even authorized yet by the legislature. These guys are just heartless.

I feel this is better than nothing
I hope corpers allawee too will increase?

Hoebedients will not like this news....
They never like anything tinubu does no matter how good it is.
One thing I Sha know is that hoebi will never rule this country.
Let's join hands to make Nigeria great again.
It's been a difficult first few months of tinubu tenure I know but even the road to heaven is narrow and not easy at all.
With joint efforts and support for the sitting president, 9ja will be on its way to greatness again.

Your skull is filled with air and is there is no brain in it.

superCleanworks:
Low Grade and High Grade workers.

High grade workers are resistant to the economy hardships because they have no bills to pay and no responsibility to handle.

Only in Nigeria

Yet the elites and those in top government positions were the first to be allocated palliatives. Yuck!

What happens to the rest of the populace?

Menclothing:


That’s why it’s private sector the employer and Hr should increase their work benefits

Government can’t determine how much I pay my staff

But have increased their salaries

How do you want companies suffering from high diesel cost, high taxes, high fx rate and inflation to increase staff salary substantially. No help or concessions granted to these companies to help them deal with these issues.

Inspite of high diesel cost, the government still introduced VAT o it to add to their pain.

This is all a first class graduate could come up with, 25k increase can't still pay school fees, buy a bag of rice or even a enough toiletries for a family of 4. Tinubu supporters you see what you are supporting?

Nigeria can never get better, don't reel out false hope, for years we have waited for Nigeria to get better and she doesn't.

... As long as we have life... No matter how low or bad it gets... Let's not stop hoping!!

Super story 🙄

As the president finish giving his story 🙄

Too much talk, big grammar, no action, no implemetation

What a nice story given by the presidenti to nigerians 🙄

This government is the most unprepared government since democracy in 1999. The are always spontaneous about every problem. They haven't bring any workable solutions since they came to government. All the major decisions they have made have been full of error. From subsidy removal to 8k to household to 5b to state to naira devaluation to naira exchange rate. They are just trying to behave as irresponsible government.

chanceux:
Make it make sense for me...

Why not just review the min wage to a sustainable threshold considering the inflation and tax Nigerians are experiencing.

Secondly, who are these "low grade" workers as defined by the income? What happens after the 6months?

How many people are even earning salaries, not to mention benefiting from an additional 25k? Why not create jobs in manufacturing industries which is the easiest area to create jobs for low skilled workers and reduce the over 50% unemployment rate.

I feel these guys just put out random policies because it sounds right in their mouth without a plan.
In the next 6 months, they'll come out to claim they've spent "billions" providing financial aid to "poor Nigerians" yet we don't know a single person that received this money neither did we receive it ourselves just like their cash transfer project.

oyebanji:
The process of minimum wage change is long as its a law that will be promulgated by the national and state assemblies.

Wage award on the other hand is temporary and may subsist until the process of changing the minimum wage law is completed.

More information will be provided around beneficiaries.

The process of Minimum wage review should have been started a long time ago and would have been in the process of implementation if they were serious about helping the poor. Up until today, all we've been hearing are just rumors while people are suffering.

I don't care whom anyone supports, my only concern is the level of hardship in that country. No matter how much we try to blind our eyes to that truth, it will stare right back at us. Nigerians are suffering and it is getting worse, the government should have pity on them haba! It's not too much to ask

I support an increase in minimum wage for the average worker, however you also need to factor into consideration that any massive wage increase without economic growth would still lead to hyperinflation. It’s simple econs.

Which would in turn bring us back to square one. I’d want to believe they have done the stats on how the 25k increase would affect the economy.

Anyways time would tell.

They are not ready to impact changes to Nigerians. We are now understanding all what they are yearning for is to perpetuate themselves in power.

Chokehold:
What happens to the rest of the populace?

What happens to the populace in Togo and Benin?
They pay the market price of petrol
What government needs to do is to create an environment for the populace to be gainfully employed

Government cannot share money to everyone

It is painful but things will even get much worse before they get better

The starting point is at least let us increase food production to bring down food prices

That is the immediate priority

Even that will take At least another harvest season before we see the benefits

Government is quite helpless

Anybody expecting salary increment whether as state local government or federal government staff is waiting for the return of Jesus. Lolzz

Abeg who are these low-Grade Workers? Which level of category dem fall put? Make person torchlight am ooo

Your comment is filled with empathy, that's what our politicians don't have they dont av a soul,they are empty,they are hollow, dead and the dead lacks the ability to feel empathy.
They ain't humans

Thanks to jagabannnnnnnnn.

Bola Bola Bola.

Educate yourself about the law and how things work

The government has the power to make a PAY AWARD in short time and that is what this is

Changing the minimum wage is a more complicated process and is not likely to be resolved as quickly. It is not true to say it is not being addressed.
It is complex. It involves discussion not just with the Federal government but also private sector and state government. They also need to balance it against inflation
If they are fast they can get it into the budget for next year

The fundamental problem is that we import too much and increasing salaries likely will weaken the Naira and increase prices defeating the exercise

We must face the bitter truth
We are an unproductive economy relatively speaking.
We import too much and cannot pay for our imports without becoming more productive
No government can fix that overnight
