Tinubu's Govt Tells Workers To Expect Double Of Their Current Salary As New Minimum Wage

President Bola Tinubu's  special adviser on media and publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, has  said that  workers  should  expect  nothing  less than double  of their  current  salary  when  the new  minimum  wage is implemented.

Ngelale  stated this  while discussing what the Tinubu  administration is doing to cushion the  effect of subsidy  removal  during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

He  said, “I don’t  want to preempt the president or the  work of the  minimum  wage committee  that is getting it down in  those states,  but what I  would say is this: the president will  want  nothing  less than a doubling. I  mean doubling of the  current  minimum  wage.

“The federal  government on its  part is  making sure it brings down the  cost  food and  energy  by  supporting  transport  companies and  coming up with agriculture intervention  as well as SMEs capitalization. States have all agreed  during the last NEC  meeting that they  would  support new  minimum  wage.”
