In a significant move, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has revealed plans to increase the minimum wage for workers in the state to N85,000
The governor made this announcement during an interview on Channels TV’s “One-On-One with Babajide Sanwo-Olu” on Wednesday evening.
Sanwo-Olu emphasized that the decision was based on the state’s affordability and capacity, rather than competition with other states.
This development demonstrates Lagos’ commitment to prioritizing worker welfare and addressing the rising cost of living in the state.
“We’ve discussed this with our union, and I’m glad to announce that the minimum wage for Lagos is N85,000 today,” the governor stated.
This increase builds on Sanwo-Olu’s previous efforts to enhance worker compensation, having already raised the minimum wage from N35,000 to N70,000.
