Some of these leaders ride in private jet, so they can pay,’’ NAN quoted Ugboaja as saying.

I pray this minimum wage thing doesn't drag into 2020. Heartless and insensitive leaders
ReplyDeleteGrammar, some states are still battling with N18,000 minimum wage.
ReplyDeleteUseless people
ReplyDeleteIt's true though, all incompetent leaders should be out of office. Nigerians should stop accepting mediocrity and incompetence under guise of making do.
ReplyDeleteThe minimum wage is not what we should be fighting for now, the government will still tax us heavily and get it back. Accountable government with the basic social amenities is what we need and every other things will fall in place.
