New
minimum wage: Senator Owie blasts Buhari government over N30,000 workers’
salary
The Chairman of the National Contact Committee of African
Democratic Party, ADP, has described the President Muhammadu Buhari government
as ‘wicked’ for refusing to pay workers the N30,000 minimum wage being demanded
by Labour unions.
In a statement he personally signed and made available to reporters, he said
that governments have the capacity to pay even more than that.
Owie said it was wickedness of the highest order for a
government that raised pump price fuel to refused to increase workers salary.
President Muhammadu Buhari had yesterday said he was committed to the
welfare of Nigerian workers.
The presidency later released a statement saying that the
President was yet to take a stand on the N30,000 agreed upon by the tripartite
committee.
