The governor of Lagos state, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has confirmed that his government plans to pay workers a minimum wage of N85,000.
Sanwo-Olu revealed this during an interview on Channels TV on Wednesday evening.
The programme was themed “One-On-One with Babajide Sanwo-Olu.”
He said: “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.”
