The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has questioned the handling of the process of implementation of the N30,000 new minimum wage.
Oshiomhole, a former President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, spoke in Abuja during a reception held in honor of the Director-General of the International Labour Organisation, Guy Ryder.
The former governor of Edo State also called on stakeholders to handle the new minimum wage process differently.
He said, “We have to do things differently about the minimum wage. So, if every other cost is changing and labor cost is constant, somebody is being squeezed.
“Rising crisis, stagnant wages, a very miserable lifestyle, and you have to fight for that.
“We now see in Nigeria the difference between signing an agreement and the challenge of translating those laws, and even the contradiction of signing laws first before getting consultants to tell us how to implement these laws.”
