This evening I addressed the press on the ongoing Minimum Wage negotiations, being carried out by the Tripartite Committee inaugurated in January 2024.

Hello sir, the last wage award was paid till Feb, 2024...there are outstanding for March, April and May,2024...the money is not coming as at when due and the economy is harsh towards workers that the wage award is not paid diligently. The wage award should not be coming late.

First of all how much did you take home? Is your duty bigger than the other category of Public servants? Where u dey when Green and Red Chambers take home a package of millions all those didn't hurt Nigeria cuz they're not common masses? Shame on you guy's. Double standard 🤦‍♂️

@NigeriaGov All your effort is to turn the back of Nigerians against Labour but you failed. We stand with NLC and TUC

Minister Sir, I know this government is known for chop make I chop. This can be seen in National Assembly chopping, Judiciary chopping etc. But your government don't want the civil servants that are doing the work to chop. Give the workers a reasonable minimum wage

As President triple fuel price, he must triple minimum wage. He should not forget that he met fuel at N190 per liter and he took it to N650 per liter. N190 X 3 = N570. 30k X 3 = 90k Any minimum wage below 100k, believe me na agenda of killing workers.

In as much as we are trying to understand your explanations and the position of the federal government, I want to also tell you people that the said proposed #60000 is an insult to the federal government works. Why is it hard to pay federal government workers good money?

Sir, the FG is not being sincere in her commitment to the wellbeing of the Nigerian workers: if your submission is something to go by, why has the FG no paid the March, April, and May 2024 Wage Award to its employees? NLC's proposed strike triggers your address!

When it comes to the welfare of workers,they will remember Economics(Cummulative And Non Cumulative Frequencies)But when it comes to buying #160m automobile,mathematics is not involved.

The solution is simple, check the value of dollar when minimum wage was 30k, then check the percentage increase in dollar and adjust the minimum wage in it's naira equivalent percentage increase. Then we would know who's being honest between you and NLC

A cup of gari that was for N50 is now N200, and a cup of beans that was sold for N50 is now N270. Not to mention other items, including the cost of transportation. If all these items increase by over 300%, how wil a 100% increase be realistic? Let the increase be commensurate.
