Tinubu announces plan to increase minimum wage

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced plan to increase the national minimum wage to improve the living condition of Nigerians.

He said this during his meeting with the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors at the presidential villa in Abuja on Friday, June 2.

According to him, the review of the national minimum wage must reflect the current realities of Nigerians.

Tinubu called on all the APC governors to work together and make it a top priority to make his proposal a reality.

He said: “We need to do some arithmetic and soul searching on the minimum wage,’’ adding, “We will have to take a look at that together, and the revenue. We must strengthen the source and application of our revenue.’’

Speaking on the need to uphold the faith and trust Nigerians gave to them, President Tinubu urge the governors to ensure they deliver.

“This meeting is not strange to me, and the content of the meeting is so valuable. The camaraderie is very stimulating. This is about the Nigerian project, not Bola Tinubu."

“As progressives and thinkers under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress (APC), you have a role to play in educating our people and making sure we manage ourselves."
