President Bola Tinubu has approved N70,000 minimum wage for Nigerian workers, promising to review the national minimum wage law every three years.

Daily Trust reports that Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information, announced this at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, on Thursday.

According to Idris, the president made the announcement at the ongoing meeting with leaders of the Organised Labour.

Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and Comrade Festus Usifo, President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), are at the meeting alongside some members of their unions.

Before the meeting, labour leaders had insisted on N250,000 minimum wage.

Last week, President Tinubu met with Labour leaders over the Minimum wage issue where he declared that Nigerian workers deserve improved welfare, better wages, as well as safe and enhanced working conditions.

The President also said he was concerned about the welfare of Nigerian workers and that his administration was working seriously to come up with a wage that would be acceptable to all.
