"We know we cannot have uniform minimum wage, but what we advocate for at the initial review, collectively was a living wage, which Mr. President promised us. Nigerians are living in abject poverty most especially working class."
Ismail Adejumo says while the acknowledgement of varying minimum wages across states is realistic, the promise of a living wage remains unfulfilled, leaving many Nigerians trapped in a cycle of poverty.
"The key driver of Nigerian inflation is forex volatility, because most of what we consume, we import. The president came up with a policy that would have helped drive down that, but up till now, that policy for six months did not see light of the day."
Mukta Mohammed says without a genuine shift towards empowering the private sector and stabilising the exchange rate, the government's efforts will continue to fall short.
"Whatever policy is being pushed forward by the presidency or by the federal government or by the APC government that has not put food on the table of an average Nigerian is a bad policy."
Diran Odeyemi emphasises that the pressing issues of hunger and economic hardship must be prioritised in policy-making to reflect the true needs of the populace.
"It is a talk shop for the president to say he's going to bring the inflation down to 15% from 34.6%. That's a tall order. It's not going to be possible in the next two years."
Simeon Nnah says the president's goal of reducing the inflation rate to 15% in the next two years seems unrealistic based on current economic indicators.
