According to him, the national minimum wage is a global standard, and Nigerian workers are going to withdraw their services.
He said, “There have been attempts by a section of the ruling class to remove the national minimum wage from Exclusive Legislative List to the concurrent list.
“This is condemnable. The national minimum wage is a global standard.
“Therefore, we’re reinforcing our earlier position to state that Nigerian workers will not allow a situation where the progress we have made for the past 40 years to be taken by these group of politicians we are going to insist that any day that this law is considered by any of the chambers, Nigerian workers are going to withdraw their services.”
A former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, has said that “two Nigerias have emerged.”
Chidoka said this on Saturday at The Platform, a programme organized by The Covenant Nation where he noted that many young Nigerians have disconnected from the country.
The former Minister explained that the “Naija” spirit is that of innovation, excellence, and creativity.
“I’m of the theory that two Nigerias have emerged. This is Naija…where Davido is; where Nollywood is…..

Mr. Osita Chidoka, a former Minister of Aviation, has taken a swipe at the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for not knowing how technology start-ups make money.
Mr Chidoka, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, said this on Saturday while speaking at The Platform, an event hosted by the Senior Pastor of Covenant Nation, Poju Oyemade, to converse issues of national development.
“What is the average age of our cabinet. Our cabinet does not reflect Nigeria. They cannot understand Paystack, they cannot understand Flutterwave. They cannot understand Kobo360.
“They don’t know how to tax them. The tax authorities are taxing their revenues because they think that all the money received by Kobo360 is revenue. No, it is money they are receiving as an aggregator,” Channels Television quoted Chidoka as saying.
