A chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Olufemi Oguntoyinbo, has advised President Bola Tinubu to approve N200,000 as the minimum wage for workers.
Oguntoyinbo noted that the current minimum wage cannot sustain workers.
The NNPP chieftain said this in a statement made available to Chronicle NG on Wednesday.
Oguntoyinbo, while felicitating with workers on the occasion of this year’s Workers Day, also called on the state governors across the country to make workers’ welfare their priority.
The NNPP chieftain maintained that without the adequate contribution of workers, no nation can reach its desired standard.
Oguntoyinbo said that the improved livelihood of Nigerian workers was sacrosanct and must remain a top priority of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“As a friend of the Labour , I share in your joy and wish you a successful celebration devoid of violence and rancour.
“I also use this occasion to reiterate my call to our President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to approve a minimum wage of N200,000 for our workforce.
“The reality of today has shown us that the current minimum wage cannot sustain the least workers in the country,” he stated.
