Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC)
President, Wabba Ayuba, has reiterated his call for salary increment for workers.
He lamented that in Nigeria, the
poor were the ones subsidizing the rich.
Wabba spoke on Thursday in Abuja
at the 10th National Quadrennial delegates conference of the Medical and Health
Workers Union of Nigeria (MHWUN).
He said, “The inequality gap
between the rich and the poor in our country is getting expanded. Whereas in
other countries it is the rich that subsidize for the poor but in our case, it
is the poor that subsidize for the rich.
“In other climes, the increase of
salary to all classes of workers in the society is done based on certain
indices, either inflation, cost of living index.
“If you are increasing the salary
of political office holders, you must also look at the same percentage for the
salary of workers. We generate the wealth of our nation and must be partakers
of the wealth we create. ”
He, therefore, urged President
Buhari to bring on board people who will work for him and add value to
governance.
“President Muhammed Buhari must
be very selective in bringing the team that will work for him, not people that
have nothing to add to the system.
“We have seen that in the past
years, it has been difficult for him to change his cabinet and by now he must
have realized the bad and the good ones among them”.
