Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central Senator, has urged the Federal Government of Nigeria to first raise the minimum wage for the country’s poor workers.

Sani made the remarks in the context of a proposed 114% increase in the salaries of elected politicians, including the president, vice president, governors, lawmakers, and holders of judicial and public office.

In a tweet via his Twitter handle on Wednesday, Sani wrote, “Raising the minimum wage of poor workers should come before that of the elites holding public offices.

“With this 114% increase, a Federal Legislator will earn about N2million monthly salary and N25million monthly running costs for his office. Money derived from the removal of subsidy should be spent wisely.”
