FG to Review N70,000 Minimum Wage, Says Gbajabiamila

At the Good Governance Summit 2026 organised by Working People United, President Tinubu’s Chief of Staff announced that the N70,000 minimum wage is no longer sustainable. He noted that this wage, introduced in July 2024, will be reassessed in partnership with labour. He added that the administration has shortened the strategic review cycle from five years to three to keep wages closer to economic realities. The government approaches this review not as an adversary of labour, but as a partner. The Minister of Labour emphasised that governance is measured by how policies improve livelihoods, productivity and social protection for workers. The summit’s coordinator described the event as a historic convergence of Nigeria’s productive engine, underscoring that national development depends on the working people.
