A former member of the music group Styl Plus, Tunde Akinsanmi, has stated that government can afford to pay N100,000 as minimum wage.
Currently, Labour Unions are demanding that the minimum wage be increased from N18,000 to N30,000 and have threatened strike action.
Reacting to the debate on what the new minimum wage should be, the singer now known as Tunde T Dot, said: “The current N18,000 is already too low. To make matters worse, workers are not even paid regularly.
“When citizens become so aggressive, hurt each other, and attempt suicide, it is the same government that will prosecute the people for trying to take their own lives and those of others.
“For me, I think N100,000 is ideal minimum wage for workers and I think we can afford it because we have crude oil which, to me, is even a bonus.
“Most importantly, we have enough human capital to make our nation productive, develop, and prosperous.”
