The governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwoolu has approved N85,000 as minimum wage for civil servants in the state.
This is in line with the federal government’s approval of N70,000 as minimum wage in Nigeria.
Governor Sanwoolu made this announcement on Channels TV last night in an interview session.
This move comes as a great relief to workers with the Lagos state government as it goes a long way to ameliorate the current spiraling inflation and cost of living crisis.
While announcing the new wage, the governor cautioned that this should not be misconstrued as competing with any state government but a reflection of the socioeconomic realities of Lagos state.
