Outspoken Catholic priest, Rev Father Ejike Mbaka, has carpeted the new national minimum wage of N62,000 proppsed by the Federal Government, saying Governors, Senators and members of the House of Representatives should also collect the same amount as they are also public servants.
Mbaka who made the call during a sermon at the Adoration Ministry Enugu (AMEN) on Sunday, also criticized the government over its shoddy handling of the minimum wage crisis which he said could lead to dangerous consequences.
“If we decide to give labour N60,000 or N62,000, why not generalize it to the House of Assembly members, senatorial members, House of Representative members, and governors?” Mbaka queried.
