According to Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, the rumor that the federal government has suggested a new minimum salary of N105,000 is unfounded.
The new minimum wage template reportedly included a proposal of N105,000 from Wale Edun, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy.
In contrast, Onanuga dispelled rumors that Edun had proposed a minimum pay of N150,000 in a Thursday post on his X account.
He asserted that Wale Edun, the Honorable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, has not suggested a minimum wage of N105,000. The other side’s narrative is completely untrue.
You may remember that President Bola Tinubu had given Edun two days to submit a revised salary structure.
But the administration has not yet confirmed whether or not it has extended a new offer to the labor.
