Abuja, Nigeria– President Bola Ahmed Tinubu presented the N70,000 Minimum Wage bill to the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
The bill aims to formalize the recently agreed-upon wage increase, which was the result of extensive negotiations between organized labor, the private sector, and the federal government.
The President’s letter, delivered on the House floor by Speaker Rep. Tajudeen Abbas, details a new national minimum wage and sets forth the legal framework for its enforcement.
Tinubu called on lawmakers to expedite the passage of the minimum wage bill to ensure its swift implementation for the benefit of Nigerian workers.
