The publisher of Sahara news website Omoyele Sowore who has thrown his interest into Nigerian political ring has just said the starting minimum wage of Nigerian workers will be one hundred thousand naira ( N 100,000 ) on his assumption of office.
"We can't run a modern,efficient and corrupt-free civil service without proper renumeration" he said, "we can afford this, all we need is to strategize; cut public waste and corruption by 20% diversify our economy, collect taxese excise and customs duties, stop giving out waivers to cronies and many more strategies to be unveiled."
He added that, 'every year, a Nigerian Senator gets to spend over ?356million practically for doing nothing. However, a Nigerian civil servant who gets up to go to work from 8am-4pm from Monday to Friday is paid 18k ($49.68) per month is told that proper remuneration will cause "inflation". This unconscionable wage must be jerked up to ?100,000 ($276) immediately we take office on May 29th, 2019. We can't run an efficient corruption-free civil service particularly Police, Armed Forces, Teachers, and Others without minimally acceptable compensation'.
