Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, said that since January, employees have been receiving an extra N35,000 in salary allowance.
He also disclosed that a new minimum wage program will shortly be implemented by the state administration.
According to the governor, since the start of the year, those who were previously earning the minimum wage of N35,000 or more now receiving salaries of N70,000 or more.
“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 N35,000 over and above what they were earning before.
“What this means is that people that are earning a minimum of N35,000 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. [CONTINUE READING HERE]
