Minimum wage is taking eternity to implement but, buying SUVs for the house is just a snap of the finger 😡

This negotiation is taking almost this year to finalize, this country is too hard already to be competing with empty stomach every month. Hopefully this negotiation will end by next week.

The interviewers heard a superior argument. Ajaero said it all; Manufacturers increase their margins when cost of production goes up, but they (govt) want workers wage to be stagnant

The situation is really complex, all interest presented from both side are valid

The business owners passed inflation to the consumers they should pay thier fair share

The NLC President who try to compare the minimum wage structure in the United State to that of Nigeria has no idea of what comes with determination of the minimum wages aside from the national minimum wages that states come with it. Minimum wage is not based on how rich a state is but mostly on cost of living index and the benefit package involved in the employment. When I listen to organized labor in Nigeria talk their focus is mostly on monthly salaries and nothing about benefits such as health insurance. An employer government or private that pays for health insurance for the employee is going to consider that benefit when it comes to determining what to pay the employee. The idea that a state and local government is rich enough to pay a minimum wage demanded by organized labor is not the way to look at it. An employee who lives in the smallest state in Nigeria where the cost of living is very low should not expect to be on the same minimum wage level aside from the national minimum wage with an employee that lives in Lagos. For example in the United States, there are states where employees do not pay income taxes and in such states the minimum wage is not going to be the same as that of employees that pay income tax. These leverages as regards to income tax do not exist in Nigeria. I am sure that the NLC President may or may not be aware of these differences. The NLC cannot win this case just on their own position of how they look at the variables. In fact the private sector drives the economy of a nation and not necessarily the government and the government is away of that and hence all parties must be carried along.

On this, NLC President you are right. You answered all the questions too well. Good bless you.

He made a valid point you cant increase prices sales and salaries still remain same i have been saying this overtime on the private sector as you are increasing your workers pay too should be increased most of this private sector are manipulators

There has to be price regulations of commodities as a serious priority by government

How does the price of selling petrol in Cameroon concern us in Nigeria? Why should rogues be able to take Nigerian fuel into neighbouring West African countries to sell above the price in Nigeria? The security agencies needs to do their job patriotically.

We supplies fuel to other countries yet in our country subsidy removal is not working as long as I'm concerned. Look at common garri is in the high side of it. Does Mr President cares at all for the least citizens? Many people died on hungry this days. Just a review of minimum wage is taking time to be implemented but the national anthem didn't take time to be implemented. What's important most, the minimum wage or the national anthem?

Why not the government cut down some of the senators allowances? See how much their collecting as an allowance and the military personnel can even afford to pay their children school fees. The teachers can not boost something good to go home with. Look at food commodity rising everyday can't they be control in food commodities?

You guys should be quiet because I went to enjoy this money before my Nysc come to an end

Tainted speec

A country that cannot pay workers comon $100 .... shame on you guys

U are only after workers, what about business owners ,people that are not collecting salary or employ in any organisation don't u guys know if they should increase your pay inflation will come again
