Minimum Wage: Anything Less Than N100K is An Insult to Civil Servants — Senator Ned Nwoko

Senator Ned Nwoko, who represents Delta North Senatorial District, has conveyed a message to the federal authorities concerning the unique minimal wage.

He emphasised that Nigerian workers may per chance per chance unruffled acquire at the least N100,000 as their unique minimal wage.

Nwoko expressed his survey for the interval of a most long-established tournament in Abuja, citing that something below N100,000 may per chance per chance be disrespectful to civil servants, as reported by SunNews.

According to him: “There are such quite lots of complications in Nigeria, from the financial system to issues of security, minimal wage and all of that.

Whereas you happen to request from me about minimal wage, I will assure that, now not lower than, all people deserves a upward thrust. Even if we assure a hundred thousand naira, I will mediate it is the suitable part. But study, what can a hundred thousand naira cease for any one? Record me, how many baggage of rice can that aquire? What number of gasoline tanks can that bear? So now we must always be reasonable about our financial system.

Govt is supposed to create an environment for people who’re doing commercial to cease neatly or manufacture jobs the build that you’d imagine. But we will deserve to admire a minimal wage. It is now not very honest, to construct it mildly, when other persons are paid a minimal wage that is abysmal and they manufacture now not seem in verbalize to develop the fundamental needs of existence.

So, I mediate that a minimal wage of 1 hundred thousand naira is now not misplaced. That must be the beginning. That more or less amount must be what we must be taking a study at. Anything lower than that is an ins¥lt on the civil servant.”
