One of the ventures owned by Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar,Gotel Communications on Friday said that the N33,000 minimum wage is only meant for the staff of the media House.
It was reported that Atiku had increased the minimum wage in all his firms to N33,000 which is claimed to be 100,000
However, the management of the firm in a statement issued said that workers of the media house would start receiving N33,000 effectively from November 2018.
Gotel’s managing director, Mohammed el-Yakubu said,“The details of the report alluding that the minimum wage of N33,000 is to cover 100,000 staff under the Atiku conglomerate is mere fabrication intended for mischief.”
Mr el-Yakub also debunked reports that Mr Abubakar has up to 100,000 workers on the combined payroll of his numerous business interests, although the official avoided stating specifically the Gotel’s staff strength. He insisted that the N33,000 applies only to Gotel employees.
