Buhari endorses N30,000 as minimum wage
President Muhammadu on Tuesday approved the N30,000 minimum wage demanded by Nigerian workers, but implored them and their leaders not to become willing weapons of politicians.
He gave the approval at the Aso Rock Villa when he received the report of the Tripartite Committee on the Review of National Minimum Wage, headed by former Minister of Housing, Ms. Amal Pepple.
The report was signed by organised labour, employers association, state governors and the federal government.
The President promised to forward the report as a bill to the National Assembly to effect the change of minimum wage from the current N18,000.
Insider sources, however, disclosed that two different figures as minimum wage were contained in the Tripartite report, and it would now be left for the National Economic Council and the National Assembly to decide on the final figures.
It will be recalled while the organized labour insisted on N30,000, the state governors had proposed N22,500; and federal government opted for N24,000.
