This action follows a recent agreement between the President and Organized Labour leaders, reached last Thursday, which established the new minimum wage amount. Information Minister Mohammed Idris had stated, “the new national minimum that Mr President is expected to submit to the National Assembly is ₦70,000.”
The Nigerian Senate also passed the proposed minimum wage bill within an hour on the same day, completing the three required readings.
