Former vice president and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has assured the country’s civil servants of a better salary package if elected president in 2019.
The PDP presidential hopeful who gave the assurance Thursday, said: “I want the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress and the generality of Nigeria workers to be assured of my commitment to the principle of a living wage for Nigeria’s workers.
“In my private enterprises, I have shown commitment to the goose that lays the golden egg, and if given the opportunity, I shall extend that commitment to the public sector”.
Nigeria workers through the NLC and TUC have warned that if the federal, state and local governments reject their proposed N30,000 minimum wage, they would call for indefinite strike.
