As the hunger protest looms in Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu signed the new minimum wage bill into law yesterday.
The signing of the N70,000 minimum wage bill took place at the council chamber of the State House, during the Federal Executive Council (FEC), meeting.
The FEC meeting was suspended by the council to give room for the leadership of the National Assembly, led by the nation’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio to witness the signing of the bill.
It is constitutional to review the minimum wage once every three years and the last time it was reviewed was in 2019 when former President Muhammadu Buhari increased it to N30,000.
