Adams Oshiomhole, a senator from Edo North, has criticized the N30,000 minimum salary.
Oshiomhole emphasized that he pays his cleaner N60,000 while referring to the present minimum wage as “illegal wage.”
Oshiomhole claimed on Sunday Politics on Channels Television that the present minimum wage was insufficient for workers.
“What we term minimum wage is a criminal wage,” claims Oshiomhole.
“I can tell you how much I’m paying my cleaning. I doubt that my cleaner even has a high school diploma; she only attends primary school. However, she is competent enough to clean the house.
“I discovered that I was unable to give her anything less than N60,000, or even N60,000. Concerning my conscience. I’m attempting to calculate how much she must spend on a home. She revealed to me that she has four kids.
“I cannot dispute why she should have four children, but I’m trying to comprehend how she has to care for those children.”
