WALE EDUN DIDN’T PROPOSE N105,000 AS MINIMUM WAGE — PRESIDENCY
Read Time:1 Minute, 5 Second
The Presidency has debunked the report making the rounds that the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has proposed N105,000 as the new minimum wage.
Reacting to the report, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, while describing the earlier report as fake, claimed that the Minister has submitted the template and cost implications, in which the new minimum wage will be revealed by the presidency.
“The Honorable Minister of Finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Wale Edun, has not proposed N105,000 minimum wage. The contrary story being disseminated is false,” he said.
Meanwhile, Hotjist reports on Thursday that the Minister of Finance, following the earlier directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presented a template with the cost implications of a new minimum wage to President Tinubu.
Recall that following a two-day strike by organised labour over a quest for an increase in the minimum wage, the President ordered the government team in the tripartite committee to, within 48 hours, present the cost implications of an affordable, sustainable and realistic new minimum wage.
He gave the order at a meeting with the government negotiation team led by the secretary to the government of the federation, George Akume, at the presidential villa in Abuja.
