Minimum Wage: Lagos dwarfs Federal Government
The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced N85,000 as minimum wage for civil servants in the state.
This is in line with the federal government’s approval of N70,000 as minimum wage in Nigeria.
Sanwo-olu disclosed this today during an interview on Channels TV.
Themed “One-On-One with Babajide Sanwo-Olu.”
“You mentioned minimum wage and what I need to throw in for my people. I’m glad to let you know that the minimum wage for Lagos, which we’ve discussed with our union, is N85,000 today.
“It’s not a competition, so I’m not going to say that we’re paying more than some other people; it’s a function of affordability and a function of capacity,” the governor said.
