Prophet Samuel Abiara said that Nigeria will soar beyond the present challenges through hardworking towards realisation of dreams A popular Nigerian evangelist, who also doubles as a former general evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Prophet Samuel Abiara, has admonished the federal government to yield to the minimum wage yearning of the Nigerian Labour Congress.
He has, however, admonished the federal government to yield to the minimum wage demand by the Nigerian Labour Congress – The popular pastor also called on Nigerians to shun the prophet of doom who are predicting ill for the country –
Abiara gave the advice in his New Year message, also calling on the politicians to desist from hate speech in the course of political campaign ahead of general elections, Punch Reports.
In addition, it was gathered that the respected evangelist praised the workers’ body for its resilience and called on the federal government to pay the N30,000 minimum wage demand and prevent a strike action that can damage the economy.
He said: “I advise the federal government to pay the minimum wage the Nigeria Labor Congress demanded. The government must do something reasonable about workers’ salaries.
They should not allow them to go on strike because it will cripple the economy. “Nigerian workers are demanding $87, which is N30,000 only. What they are asking for is not too much because the prices of things have gone up, especially food items.
The wealthy and the poor buy things from the same markets.” Abiara also called on Nigerians to shun the prophet of doom who are predicting danger for the country, adding that the future of the country is bright. The cleric added: “Do not listen to prophecies of doom.
The future of Nigeria is bright and good and you will live to witness it. This year, don’t spend your money alone; share your food and other resources with the less privileged. Don’t be lazy; work hard to achieve your dreams.”
Meanwhile, it was reported that President Buhari had been urged by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to take urgent steps to address the lingering issue on the new national minimum wage by immediately forwarding an executive bill to the National Assembly to legalise the recommendation of the tripartite Committee.
Also, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, the NLC president, said Nigerian workers were running out of patience with the government over the delay and we’re getting more and more agitated.
