Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State said on Thursday that government servants in the state had been paid the N70,000 minimum wage since January.
Sanwo-Olu stated that his government has been providing workers an additional N35,000 salary allowance since January.
Speaking at an event on Thursday, the governor promised workers that his administration will soon implement an updated minimum wage scheme.
He said:
“The civil servants and all public officers in Lagos know that since January, we have continued to pay the wage allowance of a minimum of N35,000 over and above what they were earning before.
“What this means is that people that are earning a minimum of N35,000 or more before are now earning over N70,000. That is what they have been enjoying since January.
“So it is important for people to know that we make these things very clear and that this government has doubled up to ensure that at this difficult time, it has not left the citizens on their own.”
