President-elect Tinubu Promises 'Living Wage' for Nigerian Workers on Workers' Day

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu

President-elect Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has promised to provide a "living wage" to Nigerian workers in a statement released on the occasion of Workers' Day. Tinubu pledged to offer workers more than the current minimum wage to provide for their families and lead a decent life. He vowed to be a reliable ally and co-laborer for social justice, emphasizing the labor movement's contributions to Nigeria's struggle for independence and democracy.

Tinubu noted that Nigerian workers' fight is his fight, as he pledged to improve their welfare and working conditions, which are clearly stated in his Renewed Hope Agenda for A Better Nigeria. He reminded Nigerian workers of the common battle they have to fight against poverty, ignorance, disease, disunity, ethnic and religious hate, and other negative forces that threaten the country's stability and prosperity.

The President-elect highlighted the need for understanding and cooperation from all sides to make tough and hard decisions for the benefit of all Nigerian workers. He extended a hand of friendship to Nigerian workers through the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress, calling for collaboration to achieve social and economic justice.

Tinubu's pledge to provide a living wage to Nigerian workers is a positive development that will improve their living standards and encourage productivity. It will also reduce the incidence of labor unrest and improve social harmony. As the President-elect prepares to take the reins of power, Nigerians will be watching to see how his policies will impact their lives.

Tinubu's pledge to provide a living wage to Nigerian workers is a welcome development that reflects his commitment to social and economic justice. It is also an opportunity for collaboration between labor unions and the government to achieve better working conditions and welfare for Nigerian workers. The President-elect's Renewed Hope Agenda for A Better Nigeria should be implemented to achieve this goal.
