President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, says with the rising inflation and high cost of living in the country, organised labour may end up demanding for N1 million as minimum wage from the federal government.
Ajaero who stated this during an interview session on Arise Television on Sunday, said the worsening economic hardship Nigerians were being made to go through due to unfavourable government policies has made the proposed N35,000 minimum wage by government unrealistic.
According to the NLC President, any minimum wage must reflect the country’s economic conditions, noting that as long as the dollar keeps rising against the naira, the demands for a higher minimum wage will be inevitable.
