Atiku Minimum Wage Increase Proposal

Atiku Abubakar criticized the increase of Nigeria's minimum wage to N70,000, stating it has not restored workers' purchasing power. He accused President Bola Tinubu of worsening economic conditions for workers and highlighted the disparity between wages and living costs.

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, supports organized labor's demand for a minimum wage increase, criticizing President Bola Tinubu's economic policies that have led to a decline in workers' purchasing power.

Atiku Abubakar has urged President Bola Tinubu to increase the national minimum wage from N70,000, citing rising living costs due to fuel prices at N1,400 per litre. He argues that the current wage fails to meet the needs of workers.
