Senate approves N30,000 minimum wage

The Nigerian Senate has approved the sum of 30,000 naira as the new national minimum wage, following the footsteps of the lower chamber of the National Assembly.
This followed the submission of the report of the ad-hoc committee on new minimum wage headed by Senator Francis Alimikhena.
The upper chamber asked the Federal Government to submit a supplementary budget to cover the new wage structure for consideration and approval.
The new minimum wage bill had already been approved by the House of Representatives.
