The African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has called for an increase in the salary of Nigerian workers. The human rights activist charged Nigerians to vote for leaders who genuinely want the betterment of Nigerian workers, not those who have consistently treated workers as enemies. “Nigerian workers deserve a national minimum wage of no less than N500,000.
