Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, on Wednesday, disclosed plans to pay workers a minimum wage of N85,000.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this during an interview on Channels TV, themed “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.
This came when the federal government had agreed to pay N70,000 as the new minimum wage for workers.
