Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, revealed that workers have been receiving an extra ₦35,000 in payment allowance since January.
“The civil servant and all public officers in Lagos know that since January, we have continued to pay the wage allowance of a minimum of ₦35,000 over and above what they were earning before,” he said.
“What this means is that people that are earning a minimum of ₦35,000 or more before are now earning over N70,00. That is what they have been enjoying since January.
“So it is important for people to know that we make these things very clear that this government has doubled up to ensure that at this difficult time, it has not left the citizens on their own,” Sanwo-Olu said at a state function on Thursday.
He seized the moment to reveal his government’s plan to unveil a new minimum wage scheme.
