Nigeria paid equivalent of N50,000 minimum wage in 1983 says Olawepo Hashim

The Presidential Candidate of People’s Trust (PT) Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has assured workers in the country that if elected as president in 2019 ,he would pay N50,000 as minimum wage.

According to the third force presidential candidate: “In 1983, Nigeria first had N125 minimum wage, the equivalent of N50, 000 today. So, if we are paying N50, 000 minimum wage today, we will only be giving what was given in 1983’’.

‘’those who are complaining about paying N30, 000 minimum wage, tell them that they lack initiative and cannot think as far and as seriously as those who govern Nigeria in 1983’’ he noted
