Historic victory for Nigerian workers: New national minimum wage of ₦70,000 signed into law by President

Recent events have shaken the foundations of the country with the announcement of an extraordinary decision taken by the President in favour of Nigerian workers. Indeed, the Special Adviser to the President on Senate Affairs, Senator Basheer Lado, recently made a powerful statement on the matter.

This unprecedented decision is a testament to the President’s absolute commitment to placing the welfare of Nigerian workers above all other considerations. It is reminiscent of the powerful gesture he made recently when he interrupted a regular meeting of the Federal Executive Council to approve the new National Minimum Wage Bill of ₦70,000.

This new law on salaries, allowances and other benefits for judicial officers is intended to reflect the changing realities of the country. Its signing by the President is a major milestone and a manifestation of his unwavering commitment to the welfare of Nigerian workers.

This policy decision illustrates the President’s deep devotion to ensuring that every worker, especially those in vital and strategic roles, is recognized and rewarded at their true worth.

In the current climate of the Tinubu administration, workers’ welfare has become a central pillar of national progress. The President’s visionary policies continue to improve the lives of millions, ensuring that the dignity of work is upheld and those who serve our nation are justly rewarded.

This endorsement is a clear testimony to the President’s tireless efforts to build a more prosperous and equitable country, where every worker is empowered to contribute to the greatness of the nation.

Councillor Lado commended the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abass Tajudeen, for their patriotic commitment to progressively improving the welfare of the citizenry. He also commended the members of the National Assembly for prioritizing the welfare of the citizenry by passing and transmitting the Executive Bill.

In conclusion, he called on the country’s judicial office holders to redouble their efforts to ensure that justice is delivered swiftly and effectively.

This presidential decision marks a significant step forward in recognizing the hard work and sacrifices made by Nigerian workers and embodies the continued commitment to improving the working and living conditions of the people.
