Breaking: Jubilation As Government Approves N85,000 Minimum Wage For Workers (Video)

In a significant move for Lagos State civil servants, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved N85,000 as the new minimum wage.

This decision, announced during a live interview on Channels TV, surpasses the recently approved N70,000 minimum wage set by the federal government.

Governor Sanwo-Olu highlighted that this new wage structure is the result of extensive discussions with labor unions in Lagos. He emphasized that the increase is not meant to spark competition among states but is instead based on Lagos State’s financial capacity and ability to meet the needs of its workforce.

“I am glad to let you know that the minimum wage for Lagos, which we have conversed and discussed with our Union, is N85,000 today,” Sanwo-Olu said. “It is not a competition; it is a function of affordability and capacity.”

This new wage increase is expected to provide much-needed relief to civil servants, especially in light of the current economic situation in the country. With Lagos being one of Nigeria’s most populous and economically vibrant states, this move sets a new benchmark for other states in terms of worker welfare.

The 85,000 minimum wage approval comes at a time when the cost of living is on the rise, and it is expected to improve the standard of living for thousands of public workers in the state.
