A socio-political activist and critic, Chief Adesunbo Onitiri, has advised the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) to demand better welfare packages from the government and private employers of labour instead of asking for what he called bogus minimum wages.
Onitiri gave the advice amidst the ongoing minimum wage dispute between organised labour and the Federal Government, leading to a nationwide strike that started on Monday, June 3, 2024.
In a statement in Lagos, the activist said it would be foolhardy for labour leaders to assume that the government would agree to pay N600,000 as minimum wage.
Onitiri said such a wage would cause more inflation and worsen the economic situation.
