Workers shouldn’t suffer govt inefficiency — NLC spokesman, Upah

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) is advocating for a minimum wage of N1 million for Nigerian workers. NLC spokesman Benson Upah stated that workers should not bear the brunt of government inefficiency and the prevailing economic hardships.

Upah emphasized that the proposed wage increase is a response to the severe economic challenges facing the country and the perceived failures in governance that exacerbate these issues.

This development is significant as it highlights the growing pressure on the Nigerian government to address the cost of living crisis and potentially reshape labor economics.
