George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation has said wage increments demanded by Organised Labour are not realistic.

Akume made this known during a meeting with the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

He further appealed to the support the Christian community for support as the tripartite Committee on minimum wage continues with negotiations.

According to him, paying a minimum wage of N100,000 to his drivers will be a difficult responsibility.

“I can’t afford to pay my driver one hundred thousand because they are four,” Akume lamented.

He decried the demands made by the organised labour, adding, “Where do we get that money from?”

Recall Akume accused organised labour of committing treaso by shutting down the national grid during the nationwide strike.
