The Nigerian Senate has approved N30,000 as the new national minimum wage.
The
approval came subsequent to the submission of the report of the ad hoc
committee set up to review the minimum wage. The committee was headed by
Senator Francis Alimikhena.
The decision was taken at the plenary session on Tuesday.
A
request was also made to the Nigerian government to submit a
supplementary budget, which would include the structure of the new
national minimum wage.
The House of Representatives had also earlier approved the new figure as the national minimum wage.
