Presidency Insists on 62,000 Naira Minimum Wage

The Presidency has insisted that the 250,000 naira minimum wage clamour by Organised Labour is unsustainable, warning that the Federal Government cannot channel all its resources to meet such a demand.

 

The Special Adviser to President BOLA TINUBU on Information and Strategy, BAYO ONANUGA disclosed this after the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria – ALGON raised concerns over the 62,000 naira proposed by the Federal Government.

 

Replying to this, Mr. ONANUGA maintained that unless the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress were selfish, they should consider that the resources meant for the entire Nigerians could not be channeled to only the benefit of their members who are not more than 10 per cent of the entire population.
