There is good news for civil servants in Lagos State as Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced that his government plans to pay N85,000 as minimum wage.
This is N15,000 higher than the one approved by the Federal Goivernment.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this on Wednesday evening during an interview on Channels TV themed “One-On-One with Babajide Sanwo-Olu.”
“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,” the governor said.
