Sani wrote:

“62k means 10k for each of the 6 geopolitical zones and 2k represents FCT.”

Nigerians react

Fox Nigeria captured some reactions from Nigerians on the N62K proposed minimum wage.

@okparajoyf

Labour should just apologize for the strike and go back to work. Next time, they should demand for the price of fuel to return to what it was. They should insist on a slash of the salaries and allowances of all the politicians.

@KayMurphy01

With the current situation, 62k is nothing to write home after all not all the governors will pay it. Even when it’s 30k some refused to pay it hmmm…. regardless May God bless Nigeria.

@Nas120362910

I knew it was going to be like this, they said they would add to the initial 60k proposed and NLC signed an agreement to that, now they added 2k.

@bigwig_austin

You no put “urgent” for the 2k
