Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, has announced that the minimum wage for civil servants in the state is N85,000.

Sanwo-Olu spoke on Wednesday during an interview with Channels Television.

“I’m glad to let you know that the minimum wage for Lagos, which we have discussed with our union, is N85,000 today,” Sanwo-Olu said.

Just yesterday too. Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun state announced 77k as the new minimum wage.

Heard it few minutes ago from him on Channels TV

Governor Otti just set up a committee to review the 18k minimum wage in Abia to see whether they can push it to at least 30k


Uwa nkea sef...

This is loud.....

But the taxes and high cost of living alongside inflation will render the minimum wage useless......

After all, how many percentage of Lagosians are civil servants...

But we appreciate his efforts and so far, Lagos state remains the center of excellence....

Where will you even see job talk less of payment, minimum wage keh

Nigeria have to accept the new norm. The new norm is that price won’t decrease, government just needs to ensure the people wages increase so they can at least have a better living.

If the wage is 30k minimum before and he get that to 85k, that’s going to 3 fold, it’s something to appreciate.

Now use this same way to advise Alex Otti who is still paying 18k, or Abia civil servant are not human beings too?

Nice one Mr Governor.... Congratulations to all lagos state workers.
But how can someone get lagos state government job?

The young man is trying to escape from the name Pain. He better increase minimum wage to 100k or else his name is SanwoPain.

All of All Pain Congress are now answering Pain unless the person can provide a good reason why he or she doesn’t deserve the name.

What's the noise

What the noise about SanwoOlu paying 85k, that is just waste of money
The best governor in Nigeria Alex Otti is doing better than that. He paid 18k and save 82k into thier pension
.

Minimum wage supposed to be over 200k based on current inflation

Under GEJ, minimum wage is 18k but it will buy 2 bags of rice at 7k - 7,500 that you will still have some balance left

Today, a bag of rice goes for 100k which means minimum wage cannot even buy 1 bag of rice


18k naira in 2015 = $83 (blackmarket)

80k naira today = $47

The real value of money is the purchasing power of money

How much is your governor paying.if you fall into category of governors that pay 18k, go and give advice to your governor

The dubious labour party governor of abia state Alex otti right now

Ttalk:

It's not the state government that float the naira and increased pump price putting the Nigeria economy into shambles

Let the federal government increase minimum wage to 200k and the state shall follows

Seyi Makinde is the governor of my state maybe I give you his number to ask him

And Alex Otti still paying 18k as minimum wage.

Shame on Labour Party

Shame on Peter obi

Shame on obedients

Shame on ipob

How will it then render Abia worker still earning 18K. Their own go redundant na to render them into lunatics

Why are things increasing and becoming unbearable?

Now, telling us that moving NMW from 30k to 85k is 3folds.... What fold is the increase of fuel from 230 to 1200?

Also, Alex is doing exactly what Tinubu is doing. Making the people to suffer while telling them to endure that things will get better after he's done with the projects to make ABIA compete with other states in of infrastructure.

Have the governors followed to the new 75K the president implemented ?!

The man wey e Sabi. This is the only governor we have in Nigeria.

Let the Abia NLC face their governor

When it comes to petrol and exchange rate, state governors don't have a say

You get it?

Floating of naira and increment in pump price knocked down the economy

Mention just one state governor who float the naira or increase the fuel pump price

Good one
