Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced that his government has agreed to pay ₦85,000 minimum wage to workers in Lagos State.
The Governor disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Tonight, themed “One-On-One with Babajide Sanwo-Olu,” on Wednesday, October 16, 2024.
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.
“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.
