TO ALL PRESENT DAY APOSTLES OF TRUE FEDERALISM IN NIGERIA ON MINIMUM WAGE! - Abiodun Aremu

PLS CHECK OUT THIS STATEMENT!

*“... the refusal of the Federal Government to introduce a policy of 5 pound Minimum Wage has led to anomalies which must be most depressing and shattering to those concerned. Federal workers employed in the Western Region, for instance in the Post and Telegraphs and the Moor Plantation, who work side by side, live in the same sort of houses and buy from the same markets, with Western Region workers, get much less in wages than the latter. And yet they are called upon to expect nothing but “hard work, sweat and blood” after independence. The Action Group and its Allies will terminate this inhuman and uneconomic state of affairs during their first six months in office and in any case, well before the day of independence. All workers employed by the Federal Government will be paid 5 pound Minimum Wage with effect from October 1, 1959. At same time, a law will be enacted by the Federal Parliament stipulating a national minimum wage not below 5 pound, which must be paid by all employers of labour in Nigeria”.*
