Tinubu has agreed 70k minimum wage for Nigerian works

I no this will happen because the system is too corrupt, Nigeria is the only country I have seen that would announce something but go around to do the opposite, imagine the the announcement they did since the month of July they still have not implemented it is very sad actually because the government have not given us any reasons for us to believe in them, however since they are not going to start with the minimum wage this month so when would they start using it?, is so sad that even the minimum wage cannot even buy any tangible thing considering our economical state and the government is still acting this way, the way I'm even seeing it I don't think the minimum wage includes those private companies.

The country corrupt but that one no be news. Concerning this minimum wage mata, I read for somewhere say whether Kaduna state don start to pay them workers but again, e fit be fake news wey them just drop to deceive people. You know say naija and audio money nah one.

So what do you guys think about the new development by our president Tinubu?

It’s a good development seriously because with the rate of inflation in the country this development will assist a lot of people because the minimum wage in the past is barely enough to feed on and parents have children to take care of and do other things so this new payment will help them alot. But am i missing something? I have heard about this development for a while now but no one i know have received the newly announced minimum wage payment. Months have passed and still nothing yet or is it just here in my state? 

For long I never considered civil servant a successful person, to me they are not successful because they don't have their own opinion regarding what they do for almost 35 years of their service, and after that the went home with not, I know they will be given an entitlement but to me it rubbish, imagine someone that retired this year and they are expecting their entitlement to be around 5 million naira with this current economy will have nothing to do with it because prices of things have gone high to extend that what 5 million naira of 2015 can cover 20 million naira of 2024 can not, if really the should consider the have to be measuring all this things with the current situation to make atleast 70% balance.

It’s true they are not really successful but then what you’re thinking is different from what others are thinking. There are people whose dream is to become a civil servant and that’s his own definition of success and only when he has achieved that can he tell himself that he is successful because working as a civil servant means he can earn a living and cater for himself and can now have a wife and children. So to some being a civil servant means a lot to them.

they will increase the minimum wage and then increase the price of fuel and the cost of living increases past the minimum wage, what's the the essence of such development? Even if they've implemented the increased minimum wage, it wouldn't circulate much and a lot of people won't even know that such thing has been implemented because the majority of people are no longer in the public sector. Even those that are earning above $100k are still struggling just to survive not to talk of save up some extra money to be used in carrying out a personal project. Up till last month, corpers are still receiving the old 33k and from all indication they've been excluded of the plan even when inflation is hitting on them and most of them have left thier comfort zone where they can get helot from family and friends and have gone into strange land just to get serve the federal government and yet they are still being factored of the minimum wage plan. It's not like this is not a good development and surely, if they've started paying workers it's also a good thing but the reality still remains that relative to how inflation has gotten serious, the minimum wage is too small.

I thought it was a development but not anymore, currently the Labour union felt betrayed by the federal government by telling them to accept 70k minimum wage and the price of the petrol will not increase again but rather decrease, after a month when they payment have not started the petrol price began to hike and non of the Civil service have benefited from the minimum wage, the labour also said that the government said if they want him to pay 250k minimum wage then the price of petrol will raise to the ₦1000-₦2000 and the labour looks into it and accept the 70k to make life easier for the common man but unfortunately the government failed them by deceiving them from the beginning, I don't know what the labour will do next.

It’s true they are not really successful but then what you’re thinking is different from what others are thinking.

Is not that I don't like government work, if am been given now I will rush to collect it, but I prefer to be self-employed because civil servant only have fixed amount which they are entitled to every month, the money can not cover their needs and no time for them to do any side hustle because all their youthful age are been used by governments and when the are old they drop them.

Minimum wage of 70k is not good enough for the current state of the economy, as the price of goods and services in the market is very cost and the minimum wage can not be used to sustain your delay living. Infact as of today the price of a bag of rice is 100k so weather both the private and public sectors pay the minimum wage the cost of living is just too far above your minimum wage as a worker

This thing has been very confusing because it's been sounding like audio only, without it been put to action. That's how they promised they were going to pay nysc corpers 77k but they still paid 33k for September allawee. Corpers have been lamenting since. First they said 70k and then they said it was going to be 77k. Very confusing

No need for you to dey confuse as long as you dey naija expect anything, corpers go complain tire but when election time reach na them go wan go officiate the whole electoral process all in the name of serving our father land, land wey no get meaning. I hate when we dey complain but if we see anything wey them use money take drag us we go foget the complain run go get the money first as if the money no go finish.
I like as them do corpers like that, make them learn if them care to, as for the civil servants their matter no go end today oh, minimum wage wey them wan give them na paper e end and e go always be like audio to everybody for this contri, after 70k no go even go anywhere.

After all the long deliberation between the federal government and the organised Labour President Tinubu has finally agreed with the Labour that Nigeria minimum wage will be 70k monthly, so actually my question now is that does the minimum of the 70k involves every sector in the country including normal company workers? Or is it only applicable to government workers?, however the reason why I'm asking this is because Nigeria government can be very confusing at times.

And also lets say it involves all the sectors in the country including private companies how would the federal government make sure those private companies comform to there regulations? Because one of the things I understand about this country is that they are very good in making decisions but maintaining them is always the problem because they don't have a good law enforcement agency.

Normally, the minimum wage suppose be for every organization workers in the country, but there are some organization who are not capable to pay their workers the 70#k minimum wage, even some states in the country will not be able to pay this minimum wage, but to the federal government is very important for federal government to pay her workers this minimum wage. With the current increment of fuel, I don't think it will make the government workers to enjoy this new  minimum wage because the cost of living in the country is very high right now, and it will not allow them to save what will better their life in the future. Even the federal government workers are not smiling with the new minimum wage because is not encouraging compare the price of food stuff and transport fair these days.
