Description

The primary goal of the "Fair Wage for Progress" campaign is to advocate for a significant increase in the minimum wage in Nigeria, specifically targeting the House of Representatives. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the economic challenges faced by low-income workers and to garner support for a minimum wage adjustment to N100,000 starting January 2024

Objective

The objective of the campaign is to address the rising cost of living and the need for a minimum wage that reflects the current economic realities in Nigeria, the social implications of low wages, such as increased crime rates and social unrest. A fair minimum wage can contribute to social stability by reducing poverty and promoting a more equitable distribution of wealth. An increase in the minimum wage can contribute to poverty alleviation by providing workers with a more sustainable income, allowing them to meet basic needs and improve their overall quality of life.

Message

Dear Honorable Member, As a conscientious member of our esteemed House of Representatives, I am confident in your commitment to fostering economic justice and ensuring the well-being of our fellow citizens. It is with this belief that I humbly request your leadership in moving a motion for a minimum wage increase to N100,000 at the upcoming session. The current economic climate, coupled with the rising cost of living, has placed an undue burden on the shoulders of low-income workers. Many find it increasingly difficult to make ends meet, and the minimum wage, as it stands, is inadequate to cover basic needs such as food, housing, and education. This situation not only perpetuates a cycle of poverty but also hampers the overall progress and stability of our nation. By championing a motion for a N100,000 minimum wage, you would not only be advocating for economic justice but also contributing to poverty alleviation, increased productivity, and social stability. A fair and livable wage is not just a matter of economic policy; it is a fundamental step towards building a society that values the dignity and well-being of all its citizens. I am confident that your dedication to public service extends to addressing the pressing concerns of those who rely on your representation. I kindly urge you to consider this request seriously and to use your influence to initiate positive change. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter, and I look forward to witnessing your continued efforts in making our great nation a better place for all.
