“The trade union movement is a subset of the Nigerian political class”

THE presidential candidate of THE Social Democratic To party (SDP) In THE 2023 general election, Prince Adewole Adebayo, recently spoke with select journalists on THE State of business In THE country Or he informed THE organized work has to commit THE Federal Government more in a significative way towards improve productivity In THE country instead that push For salary increment always. He, However, charge THE government has to prioritize THE Implementation of Chapter Two of THE 1999 Constitution, describing he as Nigeria map has greatness.

Virtually All that East fake In THE country East blame on THE government. For what East he so I think everyone East trying has survive. You don't do it to grow A economy of survival fashion; You to grow A economy of productivity And creativity. SO, When You to hire A person In Nigeria, You in truth to have hiring your enemy because What You pay THE person can't pay her to rent out; can't pay For her for children education And can't pay For THE food her family eat. SO, both THE employer And THE employee are layer has each other.

If You see your secretary future has work, if You just calculate What She East putting on Since head has toe, You know that she is not purchase all those things Since THE money You are paid her.

As Tinubu East THE President of Nigeria, You can go And ask him if if he looks has her own private secretary Or THE typist In THE State Home, he East convinced as A an accountant that any of them of THE workers In THE Villa East survivor on his her salary. SO, RIGHT Since THE State Home There is A issue. It is Why I said that We need fundamental adjustments And he can be it's done.

It is Why I keep talk has Nigerians about Chapter Two of THE Constitution. That East THE map has THE greatness of Nigeria. SO if You are lost, that East THE GPS; go back has that chapter two. If We follow he, a lot of these problems will be resolved. There will be unit In THE country; there will be order In THE country. And You will not to have A bank director Or manager director that East income A million times THE earnings of A costs diploma In THE bank.

SO, We need has TO DO those changes Before We can see real changes on THE Street. OUR people are GOOD people, but We don't do it as failure. We are not THE kind of people that submit has poverty. There are a lot countries that are endemic In poverty. They take he as their plot. But In Nigeria, your driver always wanna her son has be A medical doctor as yours. He wanna her girl has be A pharmacist as yours. He wanna her the youngest son has be A judge, SO he has has be A lawyer. SO, he is look For THE money. He East income 50,000 naira A month but he do not to want has register her child In A government school; he knows THE government schools are not GOOD. He wanna has register her child In A private primary school Or he is paid 5,000 naira each month Since THE 50,000 naira he East income. But if You go has a lot countries that are poor, they just accept he. A few will not go has school has all. But Nigeria East different. With A very aggressive population as that they will TO DO Nothing has TO DO money. That East Why your driver can kidnap You because her budget East bigger that her salary.

What East your take on THE quest For salary increment by organized work. How can THE issue of hustle For better well-being by workers be addressed?First And first of all, there are things We need has to understand In basic economy. Having more money do not guarantee You Nothing. Purchase power East What East important. SO, What We should to focus on East What THE money can buy, not THE volume of THE money that East THE minimum salary.

But You to have has increase THE volume of accommodation available. You to have has increase THE volume of food thing available. You to have has increase THE number of classroom available. You to have has increase THE the spaces available For productivity by manufacturing Of course You ramp up production.

As For THE organized work, they are A subset of THE Nigerian policy class. They don't do it represent THE workers. I am not saying that has insult THE here direction Or Nothing. No; he East just THE of construction part of that.

Before You can be A member of Nigeria Work Congress (LNC) Or Trade union Congress (YOU KNOW), You must to have A job. And there are more people without jobs that people with jobs. SO, if You are unemployed, You are not A member of any of them work union because It is only For workers. SO, THE challenge We are focused towards East how has put more people In THE Workforce; SO THE work trade unions are not as representative as You think.

Secondly, work East supposed has be struggle For Or against productivity And things that can affect productivity, not just salary control. If THE government brought A policy that East going has affect productivity, work should know that jobs will be lost. That was THE difference between Obama And Glove Romney When THE election was decisive.

When You ask people of Michigan, WHO will You vote For? They w...
