Even Dogs At Govt House Cost More Than ₦18k To Maintain- Ben Bruce

1-Its unjust for a govt to contemplate reducing
workers pay of ₦18,000. What can that amount
buy in today's Nigeria?

2-A worker with a family earns less than a
member of the NYSC who earns ₦19,800. Reducing
his pay is unconscionable!

3-A man earning ₦18k struggles to pay rent, feed
family & pay school fees. To reduce his pay is to
punish his family #Dontreduceminimumwage
4-At Silverbird all our 1000 staff/family earn above
minimum wage because I cant afford not to pay
my staff well #Dontreduceminimumwage
5-Why cant I afford not to pay my staff well?
Because if I don't pay them well, I am giving them
a license to steal #Dontreduceminimumwage
6-If FG & state govts dont pay workers well they
invite workers to steal. To end corruption we must
pay workers well #Dontreduceminimumwage
7-Anybody thinking of reducing the ₦18,000
minimum wage should himself first try and live on
₦18,000 for a month #Dontreduceminimumwage
8-You cannot be spending more than ₦18,000 per
meal and claim that the man who earns ₦18,000
per month is over paid
#Dontreduceminimumwage
9-In the last 4 years the cost of food & fuel has
gone up. Can we in good faith make a case for
reducing workers pay?
#Dontreduceminimumwage.
10-I know for a fact that even dogs at Govt House
cost more than ₦18k to maintain in a month. How
much more a human #Dontreduceminimumwage
