Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced plans on Wednesday to provide workers a N85,000 minimum salary.
Sanwo-Olu revealed this in an interview titled “One-On-One with Babajide Sanwo-Olu” on Channels TV.
The Lagos state governor said:
“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.”
This came after the federal government agreed to set a new minimum wage of N70,000 for workers.
