How Tinubu Hijacked & Playing Out Peter Obi’s Manifesto Which APC Initially Kicked Against

In the heat of the campaign season for the presidential elections, Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party released his much-asked-about manifesto, and one of the highlights was how he proposed the hourly wage structure to help aid the Nigerian workforce. His proposition was met with praise from so many quarters in the country and, unsurprisingly, backlash from Tinubu’s camp, which accused Mr. Obi of selling pipe dreams and engaging in “container economics.”

Less than two weeks into his occupation of Aso Rock, Tinubu has reneged on his criticism and has adopted the same policy as Mr. Obi; hopefully, he doesn’t blow it off just like he did with the removal of subsidies

Ekpo Nta, Chairman and CEO of the National Salaries, Incomes, and Wages Commission (NSIWC), made this announcement on Wednesday in Abuja.

Nta explained the policy to the Daily Sun in an interview, stating that it will compute the number of hours a person spends at the office and the calibre of the work produced to decide the income payout.

“What it means is that you have a policy guiding them when people are working in any country, even in your own private organisation,” he said. For instance, if you are hired for a new position in the government, you are aware that you must quit the system after 35 years of service or when you are 60, whichever comes first.

Therefore, those are the types of policies you need to implement. You must work from a specific time in the morning to a specific time in the day, or night for those who work shifts, in order to receive that income.
