Ondo ANRP reacts to NLC clamour for N66,500 minimum wage for all workers



PRESS RELEASE

Ondo ANRP reacts to NLC clamour for N66,500 minimum wage for all workers.

AKURE, 3 May 2018- Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP), Ondo State Chapter  affirms her support for the clamour for a new nationwide minimum wage of N66,500 by the organised labour. We equally affirm that an N18,000- minimum wage since 2011 is long overdue for an upward review.

Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) believes that one of the core roots of corruption and disenchantment in the Nigeria Civil Service is the disparity in income which has bred inefficiency and a culture of 'wait for your turn'. This means that workers live on paltry sums until they attain privileged positions- by transfer or promotion- and then proceed to take their pound of flesh from the nation, with vengeance.

The argument against an upward review of minimum wage range from inflation, low oil prices and inability of many state governments to pay.
However, we must also consider that virtually every state in Nigeria has legislated huge pension and health packages for ex-governors, some of whom are currently serving in the Senate or as Ministers and still enjoying the perks of office. So why shouldn't the average Nigerian worker get a meaningful remuneration package? What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander.

Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) insists that government should be wary of the consequences of an underpaid and disgruntled workforce by working out a better model of revenue generation and cut off excesses to free up funds for better emoluments for the nation's workforce.

Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) is fundamentally committed to reforming and repositioning the public service for efficiency and effectiveness to match any of their peers around the world. This can only be possible with a fully motivated civil service.
