Babatunde Fashola believes that the National Assembly can only rule on the minimum wage for workers and not their salaries
Former Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said that the National Assembly can only enact laws on the minimum wage for workers and not their salaries.
The former governor of Lagos State said this amid the negotiations currently going on between organised labour and the federal government. Both parties thereafter went into more talks with the federal government offering N62,000 as the new minimum wage, however, the labour union has insisted on N250,000.
“It does not talk about salaries. I further stated that ‘…it has also been shown, wages and salaries are different and should not be conflated.’ I posited that ‘…efforts to improve minimum wage must be that and nothing more. It must not translate to a salary overhaul by accident’.
