President Bola Ahmed Tinubu presented the 70,000 Minimum Wage bill to the Nigerian House of Representatives for consideration and passage into law.
The bill is to legalise the N70,000 minimum wage recently agreed upon between organised Labour, the organised private sector and the federal government after a series of negotiations.
The letter from the President which was read on the floor of the House by Speaker Rep Tajudeen Abbas provides for a new national minimum wage as well as the legal framework for its implementation.
Tinubu appealed to the Lawmakers to expedite the passage of the minimum wage bill to ensure immediate implementation for the benefit of Nigeria workers
