Just In: Tinubu Approves New Minimum Wage
President Bola Tinubu has approved N70,000 as the new National Minimum Wage.
The approval followed the just-concluded meeting with the leadership of organised labour at the Presidential Villa Abuja, on Thursday.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga disclosed the development in a statement on X.
He wrote, “President Bola Tinubu has approved N70,000 minimum wage for Nigerian workers with a promise to review the national minimum wage law every three years.
“President Tinubu also promised to find ways to assist the private sector and the sub-nationals to pay the minimum wage.
“President Tinubu announced the decisions at the meeting held with leaders of TUC and NLC on Thursday in Abuja, the second time the parties met in 7 days,” the statement read.
Onanuga further noted that labour leaders praised President Tinubu’s “fatherly gesture”, and the President also vowed to exercise his executive discretion to address the outstanding four months’ salaries owed to university unions.
