Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced a new minimum wage of N85,000 for workers
Sanwo-Olu made this known during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Tonight, themed “One-On-One with Babajide Sanwo-Olu,” on Wednesday.
Sanwo-Olu spoke on an array of issues, including transportation, road projects and measures being taken to provide succour for the residents amid the prevalent hunger and hardship in Nigeria.
He said: “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.”
Sanwo-Olu has now set a new record as the governor paying the highest minimum wage for civil servants in the country.
