New minimum wage: Atiku promises living wage for Nigerian workers if elected President

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has assured Nigerians and workers that his government will be committed to promoting a living wage for the workers.
The former Vice President stated this in a post shared on his Twitter page Thursday.
Atiku wrote, “I want the Nigerian Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress and the generality of Nigeria’s workers to be assured of my commitment to the principle of a living wage for Nigeria’s workers.
“In my private enterprises, I have shown commitment to the goose that lays the golden egg, and if given the opportunity, I shall extend that commitment to the public sector.”
The NLC and its partner, the Trade Union Congress (TUC), are protesting the resistance of the federal, state and local governments to the proposed adoption of N30,000 as the new minimum wage in the country.
They have warned that unless the figure was accepted by the government, they would call for an indefinite nationwide strike.

Lil Kesh talks about the selfishness lingering in the entertainment industry

Last Updated: 1 hour ago Popular rapper Lil Kesh who just floated his own record label, Yaqi Records, has just spilled his mind about the frequent issues artiste faces with Record labels. In recent times, it has been discovered that some artiste gets in trouble with their Record Labels due to the nature of contract signed. The drama between both parties often ends up in a law suit or court injunctions restricting them from performing. In a recent interview with Rubin Mind, the rapper disclosed that record labels are selfish, all they want to do is make money from an artiste, and they end up giving an artiste a contract that only favours the label, and when there is a breach, they start to sue the artiste. He further disclosed that YBNL is different, because Olamide is a unique individual who is selfless.
