The Federal Government has assured Nigerian workers that the N70,000 minimum wage will be reviewed in less than two years, reaffirming its commitment to workers’ welfare.
Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, disclosed this during a briefing in Umuahia after meeting with labour leaders in Abia State.
She emphasized that President Bola Tinubu is determined to honour his promises to workers and prioritise their well-being.
“We are not going to allow minimum wage review to be forever. It used to be about five years, but now, in three year’s time, which is less than two years, we will also review the minimum wage,” Onyejeocha stated.
She further noted that the review timeline has been clearly documented, assuring workers of the Federal Government’s sincerity and commitment to transparency.
Onyejeocha also used the opportunity to remind labour leaders of their critical role in fostering stability and peace across the nation, particularly in the workplace.
