The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced his administration’s plans to pay workers in the state a minimum wage of N85,000.
Governor Sanwo-Olu made this announcement while speaking at an interview on Wednesday.
“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.
