ALI BABA SAYS 30,000 MINIMUM WAGE WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE
Veteran comedian, Alibaba, has suggested that the 30,000 new minimum wage as advocated by the Nigerian Labour Congress, may make no difference if the current exchange rate doesn’t drop and fuel is still imported.
Alibaba sharing his thoughs on social media wrote, “Market forces will swallow up that salary increase in 3-months. The quality of life has to be much better. The exchange rate has to drop to say N100 to $1, and with fuel still being imported, no chance of that happening”.
However, just to make himself happy, he celebrated the increase from N18,000 to N30,000.
“Hey let’s celebrate, minimum wage is now N30,000. Some governors who have not been able to pay 18k must now pay 30k. Oya let’s dance jare”, he wrote on his Instagram page.
