 Senate okays N70,000 as new minimum wage


The proposed N70, 000 as new minimum wage, has been approved by the Senate by expeditiously passing an executive bill forwarded for that purpose to it by President Bola Tinubu for third reading .


The bill which also reduced the time of review of the minimum wage from five to three years , was given first , second and third readings sequentially in plenary on Tuesday.

Earlier, Tinubu sent the National Minimum Wage Bill to the National Assembly and separately wrote the Senate and the House of Representatives requesting expedited consideration of a bill for an Act to amend the National Minimum Wage Act, 2019 to increase the National Minimum Wage from ₦30,000  to ₦70,000.


The President also asked the lawmakers to reduce the time for periodic review of the national minimum wage from five years to three years and related matters.


Last week, Tinubu and the leadership of the Organised Labour agreed on ₦70,000 as the new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.
