Father Ejike Mbaka Calls for Equal Minimum Wage for Government Officials and Labour

Father Ejike Mbaka - Government - Labour Unions - Minimum Wage - Nigeria - Strike

Father Mbaka urges for fair treatment in minimum wage for all, including senators and reps!

Father Ejike Mbaka, a well-known Catholic priest, has stirred controversy by advocating for government officials like senators and representatives to receive the same minimum wage as labour workers. He warns the Federal Government to handle the minimum wage issue cautiously to avoid potential crises. Despite demands from labour unions for a higher minimum wage of N250,000, the government defends the agreed amount of N62,000. A poll shows that over 60% of Nigerians believe the minimum wage should range between N100,000 and N200,000.

The Democratic Movement (TDM) has called for a halt to new minimum wage negotiations, criticizing the process. Meanwhile, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Chairman, Shehu Gabam, proposes a new minimum wage of N100,000 and demands adjustments to fuel prices. Organised Labour confronts governors over their resistance to the new minimum wage negotiations.

In a historical context, the first National Minimum Wage Law in Nigeria was established in 1981, led by the Nigeria Labour Congress. Father Mbaka raises concerns over the disparity in allowances given to lawmakers amid economic hardships. He insists that governors and legislators should also earn the proposed N62,000 minimum wage.

Father Ejike Mbaka's bold stance on equal pay for government officials and labour workers highlights the ongoing debate on minimum wage in Nigeria. The differences in opinions on what the minimum wage should be indicate the complexity of the issue. Despite various proposals and criticisms, the demand for fair and just wages remains a significant concern for both workers and policymakers in the country.
