Senate President Godswill Akpabio has announced that all employers must now pay their staff a minimum wage of N70,000.
He emphasized that this applies to small-scale employers, including those in sectors like domestic work and tailoring, when hiring additional help.
Akpabio made this declaration while passing the new minimum wage bill into law during a senate session.
He stated: “If you’re a tailor and you employ additional hands, you can’t pay the person below N70,000. If you have a housemaid, you cannot pay them below N70,000. If you hire a driver or a gateman, you cannot pay them below N70,000.”
