We’ll approve affordable minimum wage, says President
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu hinted last night that only a sustainable minimum wage will be recommended for legislative action by the National Assembly.
Following the conclusion of negotiations, the Tripartite Committee recommended N62,000 minimum wage as agreed upon by the federal/state governments and Organised Private Sector (OPS).
But Labour insisted on N250,000.
The recommendation has been submitted to Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF) George Akume.
The President is now being looked upon to send his approved recommendation as a Bill to the National Assembly.
At the dinner to mark Democracy Day, the President said: “Senate President, Deputy Senate President, you’ll get a notice if I’ve changed my mind on minimum wage.
“We’re going to do it; what Nigeria can afford, what you can afford, what I can afford. They ask you to cut your coat according to your size if you have size at all.”
Pro-democracy activists and top government officials across the three arms were at the event, including Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, Senator Shehu Sani and George Mba.
Adding colour to the evening, Vice President Kashim Shettima, pro-democracy icons, including Prof Bolaji Akiyemi, Chief Segun Osoba, Senator Sani, Minister of Solid Minerals, Mr. Dele Alake, took the stage to recall President Tinubu’s role in the struggle that eventually crystallized into democratic rule.

2027 Election: “Tell Tinubu This”, – Primate Ayodele Sends Strong Warning To Tinubu In New Prophecy
Prophet Ayodele has consistently been in the news week in, week out. It is either he is releasing a fresh prophecy that’s gaining traction or a previous prohecy has just come to fulfilment and people are talking about it.
In a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele stated that the present administration is full of wrong advisers who are pushing for irrelevant policies, and making good advisers enemies of the president.
The prophet warned the president against making good advisers his enemies, as it will lead to the end of his government if care isn’t taken.
“Tinubu’s administration is full of wrong advisers; they are turning him against his good advisers, and he will make them his enemies. He is creating enemies, and those whom he thinks love him would be his worst enemies.
“There are lots of irrelevant policies they are using to kill Tinubu’s government; these are policies that will build up massive protests against the government and division. He should do the needful; there are several irrelevant policies already, but the focus ought to be on what will make people happy. “
Primate Ayodele mentioned some things the president should focus on, and they include development and surplus for the people. He stated that road construction is good, but it’s not enough for the people.
He commended the president for his efforts on insecurity but urged him to do more.
“Tinubu should focus on development, on how to create surplus for the people. Road construction is good, but it’s not the only thing people need; he needs to look into other areas.
“On insecurity, he is doing well, but he should do more, activate forest security in order to end kidnapping. He should increase the salaries of national assembly members because it will turn the nation into chaos. He should also eradicate darkness, and not add more tariffs and taxes to basic things in the country.”
