Minimum wage: Tinubu knocked for playing double standard, labour sent new message

Frank, in a statement sent to TimesNow.com.ng reacted to reports of the Federal Government’s alleged offer of N105,000.00 to workers as the new minimum wage during their ongoing tripartite negotiation.

He said:

In a statement in Abuja, Frank accused the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration of applying double standards in fixing salaries, saying what is good for judicial officeholders is good for Nigerian workers.

According to the Bayelsa-born political activist, Tinubu recently sent a Bill to the National Assembly in which he proposed a 300 per cent increase in the salaries and allowances of Supreme Court Justices, Appeal Court Justices, the President of the National Industrial Court, Judges of the Federal and State High Courts, and Grand Khadi of State Sharia Courts, among others, in the country.

He noted that the Bill was hurriedly passed as proposed by the President in both chambers of the National Assembly and is now awaiting the President’s assent to become enforceable law.
