Minimum Wage,Tinubu

A human rights activist lawyer, Maduabuchi Idam, has said President Bola Tinubu has not shown enough interest in the welfare of Nigerian workers, stressing that the minimum wage should be N100,000. Idam said offering N62,000 as the new national minimum wage shows that Tinubu is not interested in the welfare of workers.

Negotiations between the Nigerian government and organized labor are still ongoing. While the Nigerian government offered N62,000, labor reduced its initial demand from N494,000 to N250,000. Amid the negotiations, Tinubu had promised to send a minimum wage bill to the National Assembly. However, speaking with the DAILY POST, Idam said: 'Mr. President has not demonstrated the character of a leader who is interested in the welfare of his workers.

'We are interested in seeing those who understand the yearnings of the Nigerian people. We are interested in seeing cabinet members who are focused on driving the economy and not conventional politicians. Engaging these people will show that Mr. President is ready to drive Nigeria to the next level and realize his agenda of renewed hope.
