September 20, 2024 N70,000 Minimum Wage: Tinubu Used Fuel Prices to Betray Workers – NLC

N70,000 Minimum Wage: Tinubu Used Fuel Prices to Betray Workers – NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has accused President Bola Tinubu of betraying organised labour by using petrol prices as leverage in negotiations. NLC President Joe Ajaero revealed that during discussions on the proposed N70,000 minimum wage, Tinubu offered the option of not raising petrol prices if the wage was accepted. Alternatively, he suggested a N250,000 wage with a fuel price hike, which labour rejected due to the burden it would place on Nigerians.

Ajaero emphasized that the high petrol prices have diminished the benefits of the minimum wage and urged the government to address pressing issues like poverty and hunger. He also criticized attempts to distract the labour movement with baseless allegations of cybercrime and terrorism.

Cab Driver Threatens Legal Action After Adunni Ade Accuses Him of Package Theft

Francis Njoku, an Indrive cab driver accused of stealing a package, has threatened to sue actress Adunni Ade over the incident. The dispute arose after Njoku allegedly refused to deliver Ade's package, ending the trip early.

On Wednesday, Adunni Ade called out the ride-hailing service on Instagram, claiming the driver had taken off with her package and was ignoring her calls. She posted, "@indrive.ng I have contacted you for hours but no response. One of your drivers has stolen my package. He ended the trip before getting to me and not picking up calls."

Her post drew widespread criticism, with many users condemning the company. In a follow-up post, Ade shared that Njoku eventually delivered the package after the company locked his profile. She also posted screenshots of her conversations with Njoku and her fashion designer, who had sent the package.

In the shared messages, Njoku expressed frustration at Ade's accusations and threatened legal action, stating, "You have tarnished my image. My legal team is involved, and we will see you in court. You must issue an unreserved apology and have Instablog remove the post."

In response, Adunni Ade stood by her claims, saying, "I don’t lie or cheat. If we want change, it should begin with us. In all my years of using logistics services, I have never encountered someone as rude, arrogant, and entitled as Francis Njoku."
