Because of this, the Organized Private Sector (OPS) has voiced concern over the ongoing agitation over the New National Minimum Wage, stating that going above N62 000 may force sector members to reduce staff.

Justice Nwite pointed out that the trial court had previously ordered an expedited hearing on a comparable bail application that had been presented to it. He maintained that no proof was presented to state the reasons the court should reverse its prior decision. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, or NLDEA, was thus given permission to proceed with the prosecution of Kyari and his co-defendants in the case after the court denied the application.
