A new minimum wage is something that every worker usually look forward to. When the new minimum wage was signed by the president, we were all filled with joy and gladness. However, the minister of Labour Chief Ngige came out to say it was rather a consequential adjustment and not increment. Whatever that meant, I was prepared to wait until my salary is paid. True to its promise, the FG has finally paid me the new minimum wage. For a level 9 step 5 officer, the FG has added 8k to my salary. This is the Change government people clamoured for. My colleagues who are APC staunch supporters, have been seen speaking in low key since we got our salaries.

DECENCY3:
They only added 2k despite all the bruhaha

U no even read the post they comment.

This NLC folks are gullible I swear. They should have just left the minimum wage the way it was. Now how do you tell your landlord or the market woman who has increased the price of their goods and service because of increase in minimum wage that you only got 8k increment?

Now the suffering continues

rusher14:


Your salary was always low.

From 50k to 58k.

How much would have made you comfortable?

Your salary is low because your GDP per capita is low.

Annually, the average Nigerian generates only 2 thousand dollars into the economy.

Yet you want to live like one generating 30k dollars.

Adekdammy:


Do we have nlc or appendages of the fg

sparog:


I wasn't referring to myself. I was talking about the Op's statement....
I really wanted to say something crazy to you but I decided against it...
I wonder how much our legislators generate into the economy

rusher14:


If it becomes a vexatious issue for Nigerians they can challenge it democratically.

Not that every 4 years they go out in the sun and rain to vote someone they know would simply be grabbing for everything he can.

Besides, there's only of 108 of them.

I doubt it is their income that makes the 150 million others generate 2000 dollars annually.

sparog:


It seems you're not living in Nigeria. The govt said it doesn't have money to pay the minimum wage effectively... A huge percentage of the yearly budget goes to the NASS.

This is not a case of GDP at all, it's a case of the political elite earning outrageous sums and leaving breadcrumbs for the workers to share

Can you imagine they are even trying to renovate a building which was built for $7million with 37billion Naira but they can't afford 30k minimum wage and you're telling me it's a case of GDP

9jii:

Na so bad luck de 4 some people life everyone de 10k above u com get 2.

PINES:
FG didn't pay the arrears Kopas who were in service in April through the end nko? Will they recieve it too?? I mean the arrears if they paid..

wwwihy:
Additional wage without increase in productivity is not good for the economy
