Payment has been one of the major concerns for every worker and a self dependent person. So with this everyone's desire is to have a nice job earn a nice amount of money, but our countries bad economy has deprived so many people from this right. It is good that the labour force have this nice vision to fight for the minimum wage which was finally agreed at 70k. But states are yet to carry out this minimum wage but we all hope that soon it will be settled, so what if this 70k minimum wage is finally working who is going to smile how many people are going to be happy at it?
Private workers have no hope of this minimum wage especially small private owned businesses e.g, local private schools, sales girls and sales boys, bakeries and so many more but this same people are working their lives out for a little amount of payment. 70k can't solve any issues in this our current economy in a family of parents and children.
The best option here is for Nigeria to implement a per time payment method this will help reduce overwork and nobody would be cheated too, unlike someone working for 12 hours every day at the end of the month you receive 20k as your salary in this present economy of high price of things I think a per time method would benefit both the private and the government workers.
Yes, the minimum wage has been increased to 70k , whereby the cost of living has multiplied.
Which makes no sense to me; there's no change in the economic system.
Talking about the per-time method, I believe it will be best for people to go back and get some other work to earn more money, but with the greed of some employees, they might not accept it.
Working in most of the private companies is just so demanding because the employee doesn't consider the time that was agreed upon at first.
I remember when I was working in a pharmacy as a sales administrator. Funny how I was forced to work as a pharmacist assistant, care- giver, and home service nurse.
I have to cover up when we get short of nurses, and guess what? No salary was added, and when I opened up requesting my manager do something about it and not been able to cover up for the company, I was queried and tagged insubordination.
So most workers can't even express themselves but have to work just to make a living.
But where the state of the country has a per-time method, the agreement between the employee and employer stands, and they can speak out when necessary.
