It certainly cannot be the meager national minimum wage of N30,000, which right now cannot even buy a bag of rice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He expressed the belief that the proposed slash in salaries was certainly not targeted at the minimum wage and consequential adjustment in salaries that some state governors were still dragging their feet to pay.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, it is in public knowledge that the multiple devaluations of the Naira in a short time, and the prevailing high inflation rate in Nigeria, have knocked out the salaries earned by Nigerian workers across the board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dNigerian workers are only surviving by hair\u2019s breadth. Indeed, Nigerian workers are miracles strutting on two legs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dIt is, therefore, extremely horrendous for a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to pronounce salary slash for Nigerian workers currently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThis call for salary slash by Mrs Zainab Ahmed is tantamount to a \u2018mass suicide wish\u2019 for Nigerian workers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>While opposing the move, he demand an immediate retraction and apology by the Minister of Finance.<\/p>\n<p>The NLC president, however, said that if there was any salary that needed serious slashing, \u201cit is the humongous remuneration and allowances pocketed by political office holders in Nigeria, who do extraordinarily little but collect so much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWorkers generate surplus value and revenue for the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe do not constitute any unnecessary cost or burden to governance. It is also important to make the point that salaries are products of contracts governed by laws. They cannot be unilaterally adjusted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said that many countries of the world were increasing the salaries of their workforce and extending social security coverage for their citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Organised Labour has condemned and rejected the plan by the Federal Government to slash the salaries of workers in the country.
