Buhari Signs N30,000 New Minimum Wage Bill

President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the new minimum wage bill. The President signed the bill on Thursday.

The National Assembly had passed the bill approving N30,000 as the minimum wage for workers.

A number of State governors had opposed the N30,000 minimum wage with many of them saying they will be unable to pay their workers.

The bill, which has now become a law, will usher in a new pay structure for Nigerian workers.

A source at the Presidential Villa confirmed to journalists that Mr Buhari signed the bill today (Thursday).

He also said the president’s aide on National Assembly (Senate), Ita Enang, is meeting with the president and will brief the press later
