In separate letters to both the Senate and the House of Representatives, the President requested an expeditious consideration of a bill to amend the National Minimum Wage Act, 2019, to increase the National Minimum Wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000.
The bill also sought to reduce the period for reviewing the minimum wage from five years to three years.
Tinubu had agreed on ₦70,000 as the new minimum wage for Nigerian workers during a meeting with Organised Labour last week.
