Lagos will pay workers N85,000 as Minimum wage — Sanwo-Olu

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.
