Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has stated that the Federal Government is working towards reviewing workers’ salary.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives stated
this on Thursday in Abuja at an event organized by Working People United.
He said that the N70,000 minimum wage which was approved by
thr President Bola Tinubu administration in 2024 is no longer in line with the
reality of things in the country.
“N70,000 wage, which was a milestone in 2024 must be
honestly reassessed against today’s realities,” he said.
The former lawmaker added, “I can confirm to you that when
the time comes to begin the process of reviewing the national minimum wage,
this administration will approach that endeavor not as an adversary of Labour,
but as a partner.
“President Tinubu has said time and again that the
custodians of the nation’s machinery deserve a fair and commensurate wage, and
as you all well know by now, this is the president who means precisely what he
says and does exactly what he means.
“It must be said that good governance is not a performance
stage by government for the benefit of a passive audience, it’s a partnership
between those who govern and those who are governed.
“No where is that partnership more vital than the
relationship between government and the working people of Nigeria.
“It is with this understanding in mind that I ask the
leaders of organized labour and the members of working people united to remain
what you have so often been at your finest, partners in progress rather than
antagonist in perpetuity, let us choose to dialog over disruption, because as
we have proved again and again, we achieve far more when we visit together than
when we retreat, retreat to our separate corners.”
