Book excerpt: This book analyzes the struggle of working people for improvement in minimum wage in Nigeria. It also looks into how working people are being shortchanged by the capitalist government and employers under the guise of implementing minimum wage. It links the issue of minimum wage in Nigeria with the political economy of Nigeria as a third world country. It was written as a contribution to the intellectual and ideological debates in working class and anti-capitalist movement. It not only raises issues concerning the political economy of Nigeria's capitalism but also the strategies needed by the working class movement and activists in challenging this obviously unacceptable capitalist state. Centrally, this book argues for a revolutionary, democratically organized working people's party to champion this cause. It is the contention of the writer that working people cannot continue to vote their enemies to power every four years, only to fight the anti-workers' policies of those governments. Why don't they have their party? Indeed, strike actions in themselves raise the question of political power as the whole country is at a standstill. Globally, movements are growing against capitalism, one hopes this book contribute to the growing consciousness of working class people and youths for a better society, away from the current iniquitous capitalist system, especially its backward form we have in Nigeria, nay third world countries, and the world at large.This book is a vital material for workers, labour activists, trade unionists, civil society practitioners, scholars and academics, students of history, politics and social science, and all those interested in the political economy of Nigeria.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the down turn of economic activities in Nigeria and the agitation for minimum wage increase, this study investigated the impact that increases in minimum wage will have on households welfare in Nigeria using a Computable General Equilibrium Model. The study formulated two scenarios - increase in minimum wage of workers by 211% and 150%, being increase from N18,000 to N56,000 and from N18,000 to N45,000 respectively. The data used for the study is a reformatted Social Accounting Matrix for Nigeria. The simulation results of scenario one revealed that, a 211% increase in the minimum wage of workers will increase agricultural output, industrial output and exports while imports will be depressed marginally and then lead to increase in households welfare indicators of income, consumption and savings by 6.76%, 5.0% and 3.61% respectively. The result of scenario two revealed that, increasing minimum wage by 150% will lead to increase in agricultural output, industrial output and exports while imports will fall and then households" welfare indicators of income, consumption and savings will increase by 5.75%, 4.83% and 2.96% respectively. Similarly, the study found that, the Hicksian Equivalent variation as a measure of welfare impact of the policy is positive and high in all the simulations. The study concluded that an increase in minimum wage of workers has positive and significant impact on household welfare in Nigeria. Therefore, it is recommended among others that the government should as a matter of urgency accede to the demand of the organized labour and increase the minimum wage of workers from N18,000 to N56,000 (211% increase) and ensure that it is fully implemented across board.

Book excerpt: Issues in National Minimum Wage fixing which predate Nigeria political independence has caused very serious controversy and debate in the country thereby challenging the nature and structure of Nigeria industrial relations system. By adopting a theoretical approach of analysis, the study concludes that, government must develop an acceptable and good wage review policy at the expiration of existing agreement, especially when there is a rising price of commodities in the market without correspondent increase in the wages of workers. In view of the above, the study made some policy recommendations prominent among them are that, individual states should be allowed to pay their workers minimum wage based on their financial strength and the subsisting cost of living or living wage; the government should ensure they monitor organizations with culture of unfair labour practice and low wages; there is also the need for government to reduce the cost of governance and improve the living standard of workers by fixing a better wage. Finally, diversifying the Nigeria economy is necessary for states to enhance their internally generated revenue and step into creation of employment opportunities and better pay package.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2011 National Minimum Wage Act raised serious controversy and debate in Nigeria thereby problematizing the nature and structure of Nigerian federalism and fiscal federalism. By adopting qualitative method of analysis, the study concludes that, one, the trade unions' insistence on uniform national minimum wage scale hinders the enforcement of the National Minimum Wage Legislation, and two, variation in revenue profile of states in Nigeria impedes implementation of National Minimum Wage Act 2011 by some state governments. Following from the above, the study made some recommendations prominent among which are, one, amendment of some sections of the Nigerian Constitution necessary for 'true' (fiscal) federalism; two, restructuring of the structure of Nigerian federalism anchored on the principle of viability; three, allowing states to have their own minimum wage and wage structure based on their ability to pay and the subsisting cost of living or living wage.
