The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has announced that his government plans to pay public workers in the state a minimum wage of N85,000.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this on Wednesday evening, 16 October, 2024, during an interview on Channels TV titled ‘One-On-One with Babajide Sanwo-Olu’.
“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.
