Paying Workers 30, 000 Is Criminal- Oshiomhole Blast Employers, FG.

Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole has slams employers who are still paying Workers 30,000 despite the current economic hardship orchestrated by the removal of subsidy on Petrol.

The lawmaker stated this while featuring on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, saying he pays his cleaner who is not even a school certificate holder 60,000.

Oshiomhole described the current minimum wage as “criminal wage,”saying the current minimum wage was not enough for workers.

According to Oshiomhole: “What we call minimum wage is a criminal wage.

“I can tell you what I have decided to pay my cleaner. My cleaner is just a primary school – I’m not sure she even has a school leaving certificate. But she’s knowledgeable enough to clean the house.

“I found myself unable to pay her less than N60,000 – in fact, N60,000. It’s about my conscience. I’m trying to imagine what she has to pay for a house. She told me she has four children.

I’m trying to imagine how she has to look after those children and I cannot question why she should have four children.”
