Former lawmaker, Senator Daniel Bwala, has said Nigerian governors have no justification to say that the N60,000 minimum wage is not sustainable.
This is even as the former lawmaker said Nigerians should
better know where their problems lie.
Bwala dismissed the governors’ claim that there would be no
money left for development if they were to pay N60,000 as minimum wage, saying
they have no development to show in the first place.
The statement came after governors of the 36 states of the
federation rejected the N60,000 minimum wage earlier proposed by the Federal
Government.
They argued that the N60, 000 wage is not realistic and
unsustainable, insisting that if implemented, it would force some states in the
country to borrow to pay workers’ salaries.
However, Bwala, in a post on his X handle on Saturday, said
Nigerians should better know where their problems lie.
He said: “There is no justification for Nigerian governors
saying the 60,000 minimum wage is not sustainable when we are talking about
upgrading to a reasonable living wage. Nigerians should better know where their
problems lie.
“When governors say if they pay 60k there would no money
left for development, you wonder WHICH DEVELOPMENT HAVE THEY BEEN DOING in the
first place.
“Since the increased FAAC allocation, very few governors
have improved their states or the living conditions of their citizens.
“Hippopotamus federating units.”
