Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The gubernatorial candidate of New Nigeria People\u2019s Party (NNPP) in the last general elections in Ogun State, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has appealed to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led federal government to accede to the N200,000 minimum wage for workers across the country.<\/p>\n

Oguntoyinbo noted that this is necessary in view of the present economic reality occasioned by the increment in the prices of goods and services across the country.<\/p>\n

He made these disclosures via a statement made available on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The labour unions had proposed N200,000 as the minimum wage before the President.<\/p>\n

Oguntoyinbo, however, appealed to Tinubu to accede to the request.<\/p>\n

The NNPP candidate in the statement lamented that it is worrisome that low-income earners are struggling with harsh economic realities, with about 120 million citizens living in poverty.<\/p>\n

He explained that the best way to reduce the suffering of the workers is to accede to the N200,000 minimum wage request.<\/p>\n

He added that his appeal is based on the present economic reality in the country.<\/p>\n

He said that Tinubu and the governors should find ways to listen and approve the request from the workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a need for President Tinubu and governors to do some calculations and soul searching on the minimum wage to reflect the current realities in the country, by strengthening the take-home home of workers at the end of every month to meet the current market prices of foodstuffs and other essential utilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll elected leaders should seize the opportunity of being elected among millions of citizens in the country to make a difference in the lives of people, by creating an enabling environment for Nigerians irrespective of their income to meet their comfortability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to use this opportunity to appeal to our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and 36 state governors to make the welfare of workers and ordinary citizens a priority by adhering to the 200 thousand naira minimum wage rather than increasing their own pay.\u201d<\/p>\n
