The President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, has urged all levels of government in Nigeria to pay workers a “living wage,” emphasizing that it is their legal entitlement.
He made this call in a statement on Thursday titled “Workers Deserve Protection, Fairness, and a Living Wage”, as Nigeria celebrates Workers’ Day today.
Osigwe stated that the global commemoration of Workers’ Day highlights the resilience, hard work, and sacrifices of Nigerian workers who, according to him, remain the unsung heroes of national development and nation-building.
