President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Joe Ajaero, while speaking at the Vanguard Economic Discourse charges the government to fix the economy and not allow the citizens to continue to suffer due to its reforms.

On what fundamental are you making the demand of 450k minimum wage from the FG knowing that it might push for more inflation in the country?

A living wage is that which will keep you and your family at least to eat till the end of the month. The fact that the government has so much devalued the naira that it doesn’t have weight again, should not make us not to feed. The cost of food, education, housing, and transportation has all increased. The food inflation is about 40% plus.

And the government decided to adopt a palliative policy. That is what the government is in today, the government of palliatives. Even the palliatives, they say, there should be cash transfers to the most vulnerable. As of today, there has never been any cash transfer.
