Lagos govt to pay N85,000 minimum wage

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.”
