Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwoolu has okayed the sum of N85,000 as the minimum wage for the lowest workers in the state.
Sanwo-Olu made this announcement 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.
