The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi has promised to increase the minimum wage and prioritise production over consumption.
He made the promise during a campaign rally in Lokoja, Kogi State, on Tuesday, saying the current minimum wage is unstainable.
“We want to make sure that we would remove Nigeria from consumption to production. When the TUC former president was talking to you, he told you about minimum wage. We will ensure that those who are being owed, we would work with state and local governments to clear their outstanding,” he said at the Confluence Stadium in the Kogi State capital.
“We would make sure that we will work with them and when we start production, we would start thinking of how to increase the minimum wage.”
