The Nigerian Labour Congress has been demanding a living wage for quite some time for Nigerian workers without the government of Nigeria giving them a listening ear. But the same government of Nigeria and the lawmakers of Nigeria are so quick to approve the salary increments of the CJN and other judiciary workers. We believe that these corrupt lawmakers of Nigeria did so to avoid being on the bad books of the judges of Nigeria when their tenure of office ends. We also believe that the speed with which the lawmakers of Nigeria applied when approving the judges pay should have been used to approve the new minimum wage of the workers because they are the powerhouse of the economy of Nigeria. Again, if a solution is not quickly found concerning the demands of the Nigerian Labour Congress, their stay out of work may collapse the economy of Nigeria, which is not in the best interest of the country. So since the government of Nigeria agreed to pay judges their new wages, it would also be nice to pay workers what they are demanding as a living wage. The government of Nigeria should always balance every issue that comes to them. This is how a responsible government addresses issues. We believe that every government is working for the people of their various countries to achieve greatness and also make their country great, certainly not the other way around.
