The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has assured Nigerian workers of a pay rise next year.

Ngige stated this in Awka, the Anambra State capital in an interactive session with journalists on Tuesday.

He said the various committees handling the minimum wage issue were working to arrive at something.

He said the minimum wage under Buhari would not be like any pay rise in the country.

The Minister said, “minimum wage is a constitutional issue and is in the exclusive list.

“The Nigerian workers are entitled to a review of their pay under the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“The various committees handling this matter are all working hard to realise the objective. Some are at the final stages of their work.”

He said the kind of minimum wage being worked out by the Buhari administration, would be enforceable by workers in both private and public sectors.

Ngige said that the new minimum wage would be couched in such a way that any employer of Labour in the country who would pay his workers below the minimum wage would be held liable.

Hogwash

it better be in january..yeye pple

I pray ooooo. Government of Slow pokes

They could not pay a dime of the N5,000 a month they promised unemployed and vulnerable Nigerians. Even to pay their contribution for school feeding is a problem. It is almost 2 years now. Empty promises getting even emptier.

Now they want to increase salaries. To be funded from where? The $30bn loan they want to collect?

How do they intend to get it?

The same 2017 budget did not make any provision for salary increase and govt will just do the increase.

Govt of deceits. Now is #Ngige turn to lie

When some state OWE up to 7months and NLC and FG are watching


If you see Buhari, please tell him that when they borrow the said money, they should just share it equally on every BVN

We don't need their planned SUBSTANDARD infrastructure, we need money to relocate to WEST GERMANY!!!

Thats good but where will they get the money.

April fool is coming early. People that are slashing salaries and can't even pay when due now want to increase salaries. Even a 5 year old will say I don't believe it!

God Bless you Muhammadu Buhari

God bless Nigeria

Every positive thing this govt does always has a negative ricochet. Or perhaps they'll come out tomorrow to deny this or this is Ngige trying to launch his gubernatorial campaign with the usual apc phantom promises.

Worry about paying workers first before you can talk of an increase.
