Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has asked President Bola Tinubu to increase workers’ minimum wage to N100,000.
Ayodele made this call in a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin on Thursday.
The cleric said an increase in the minimum wage would cushion the effect of subsidy removal instead of the proposed N8,000 palliatives to 12 million households
Primate Ayodele said the N8,000 palliatives will only lead to corruption and will not reach out to the poor masses that need it.
He said the palliatives will not have any serious impact on the people because of corruption among politicians.
According to Ayodele, the N8,000 palliative will be a total waste of time because it won’t work due to corrupt practices that will mar the process.
