The Nigerian government has announced plans to shorten the minimum wage review cycle from five years to two, signaling a more frequent adjustment to align with economic realities.

This decision was revealed by the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, during an address in Abia State.

Onyejeocha explained that the revised timeline is part of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerian workers.

She emphasized that the government is determined to ensure that wage reviews happen regularly and in a timely manner.

“We are no longer sticking to the old five-year schedule for minimum wage reviews,” Onyejeocha said.

South Korea’s Security Chief Calls for No Violence Despite Tensions Over Yoon’s Arrest

South Korea’s presidential security chief, Park Chong-jun, made a clear statement on Friday urging that there should be no violence or bloodshed if authorities try to execute another arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, following his failed attempt to impose martial law.

He refused to cooperate with investigators, and last week, a tense standoff occurred between his security forces and law enforcement officers attempting to arrest him.

Yoon’s actions during the attempted martial law declaration have led to insurrection charges.

“I understand the concerns of the public, seeing the government in such conflict and confrontation,” Park said.

“However, there must be no physical clashes or bloodshed in this situation.”

Investigators obtained a new arrest warrant for Yoon after the previous seven-day order expired on Monday, aiming to question him over charges related to insurrection.

However, despite this, Yoon’s supporters have rallied around him, even braving freezing temperatures outside the presidential residence to protect him.

Peter Obi, former presidential candidate and influential political figure, has raised concerns over the escalating insecurity in Nigeria, specifically bringing out the increasing cases of kidnapping and killings across the nation.

In a statement shared on his X handle, he decried the alarming frequency of these crimes and called for immediate action to address the menace.

Obi expressed deep worry over how this wave of insecurity has affected every aspect of national life.

He picked examples from the agricultural sector, where farmers are forced off their farmlands by threats of violence, to the educational and health sectors, where teachers, lecturers, and healthcare workers are becoming frequent targets of kidnappers.

In one of the most recent incidents, the Manager of the College of Nursing Sciences in Ihiala, Anambra State, was brutally killed.

This tragic event was followed by the kidnapping of two Reverend Sisters, both key contributors to the education sector.

One is a school principal, while the other is a teacher.

The former governor also questioned the extent of the problem, asking how many cases go unreported if the reported ones are already so overwhelming.

He urged the government to deploy all available resources to combat insecurity, rescue those in captivity, and restore peace in affected areas.

Additionally, he made a heartfelt appeal to the perpetrators, urging them to abandon their criminal activities and adopt peaceful ways of life.

“Nothing justifies these kidnappings and killings. We must not burn down our only nation with terror and violence,” Obi stated.
