FG to Reassess ₦70,000 Minimum Wage, Gbajabiamila Confirms

The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, says the Federal Government will review the national minimum wage. He spoke at an Abuja event organised by Working People United and noted that the ₦70,000 wage set in 2024 no longer matches current realities. Gbajabiamila added that when the review process begins, the administration will work with organised labour as partners rather than opponents. He urged both sides to choose dialogue over disruption, stressing that progress is achieved together.

What criteria should the FG use when reassessing the ₦70,000 minimum wage to reflect current living costs?

I agree, they must account for inflation levels, regional cost variations, and essential household expenses.

It's interesting that Gbajabiamila admits the ₦70,000 wage set in 2024 feels outdated so soon amid rising inflation.

The government should tie any wage review to clear benchmarks like food inflation, housing costs, and frequent economic indicators for transparency.
