Just In: Senate Approves New Minimum Wage

The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday approved the sum of ₦30,000 as the new national minimum wage.

This is following the submission of the report of the ad-hoc committee on new minimum wage headed by Senator Francis Alimikhena (APC-Edo North).

The Senate had asked the Federal Government to submit a supplementary budget to cover the new wage structure for consideration and approval.

The new minimum wage bill had already been approved by the House of Representatives.
