NLC faults move to change minimum wage law – Senators wants to lower minimum wage from N18,000 to god knows what, N1,000?, while they earn millions.

Nigerian Labour Congress has condemned the plan by the Senate to remove the Minimum Wage Law from the Exclusive List.

 The move, the NLC said, was inimical to the well-being of the weak and economically disadvantaged persons in the country.

The NLC President, Mr. Abdulwahed Omar, who stated this in a statement  on Sunday, added that the initiative had serious implications for national security, productivity and well-being of the low-income earners.

 He noted that if given the opportunity to fix their respective minimum wages, state governments would not hesitate to pay minimum wages as low as N1,000 to their workers in spite of the huge resources available to them.

 He said “The Nigeria Labour Congress notes with concern efforts by the Senate to remove the national Minimum Wage Law from the Exclusive List in defiance of reason, popular opinion and protection of the interest of the weak and the vulnerable. 

Are these Senators serious? What in heaven’s name is their problem. These guys earns millions, I mean millions for practically producing nothing and the people who do all the work can't even earn a decent wage?

If this happens, a revolution is certainly on it’s way and they will be the first target. Enough is enough. UNBELIEVABLE.
