GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that a veteran journalist from Nasarawa State, Mukhtar Wakeel, has said that a family can manage N70,500 minimum wage if the man avoids side chicks.
“N70, 500 minimum wage is manageable if you avoid side chicks. I come in peace,” he wrote.
He stated this on Saturday after the Nasarawa State Government reportedly approved N70,500 as new minimum wage for state workers.
In a related development, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has declared industrial action in Oyo, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and 13 other states, effective Monday, December 2, 2024, following the failure of some states to implement the new national minimum wage.
This decision follows resolutions made by the National Executive Council (NEC) in Port Harcourt on November 8 and reaffirmed by the Central Working Committee (CWC) in Kano on November 27, 2024.
The action is aimed at compelling compliance with the wage structure agreed upon nationally.
States affected by the directive include Abia, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Enugu, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Imo, Nasarawa, Kaduna, Katsina, Oyo, Sokoto, Yobe, and Zamfara.
Workers in these states have reportedly continued to receive wages based on the outdated salary structure, with no concrete agreements or timelines for implementing the updated structure.
