Yes!!!

I don't understand what's wrong with Nigeria's media.

In the video where the wrong headlines originated from, Gov. Sanwoolu only said new minimum wage would be soon announced by the FGN and Lagos is ready. He went further to state that Lagos State Government have been paying ADDITIONAL WAGE AWARD of #35,000 since January 2024..and so, by doing this, workers that have been earning current minimum wage of NGN 35,000 have been taking home NGN 70,000.


How these statements was interpreted to mean NGN 70,000 new minimum wage by Lagos is what I also don't understand.

Our media needs to do better.
To them everything tribalism, they are irredeemable

Effects of our halfbaked educational system. Masses can’t understand basic statements.

How on earth can one interpret that to mean Lagos increased minimum wage.

It was clearly written that it was a Lagos govt intervention which began in January.

Nawa oh!

But at least, he is paying the award. The 70k is not enough but is better than the states that are not paying the award.
Anambra's minimum wage is still pegged at 18k.
Even the 10k wage award has been stopped since January.



I truly commend Sanwo Olu on this.

Do you know Anambra civil servants in this 2024 are not earning the old minimum wage of ₦30,000.

This are the legacies of Peter Pandora Obi ipob n obidient miscreant won't disclose on social media. Do not take my word for it, simply ask Labour Party which Peter Pandora Obi is now a member.



My brother if earning ₦70000 in Lagos is oppression what will you now call those earning ₦18000 in this 2024 in Anambra
..... Ebot!!! Na peter obi go kee una.... Peter obi is ur Oga nemesis and worse nightmare. Instead of him yo focus on being presido, he is busy looking for wht Peter obi say and what he does not.

[quote author=OnionBandit post=129635433][/quote]But I just confirmed that the said payment of 35k Award since January is not true. If that is so, why telling lies in the public & dancing naked in the market square for God's sake?

[quote author=OnionBandit post=129635433][/quote]what's 70k that's he's even bragging about compared to increased revenue allocation and IGR,coupled with current high cost of living ,when you talk too much ,this is the resultant effect !!!

MrProlific95:
Good that it was clarified on time, because I don't know why #70,000 will be announced as new minimum wage.

Anything less than #100k is not the living wage Tinubu promised them workers

Anyways I am happy to have decide

Yes that’s what he said on video by himself. But as usual, several media house have different interpretations of his statement.

—Truly, the minimum wage of any Lagos civil servant is N70k if you add the 35k to the additional wage of 35k Sanwo is paying. However, this is only applicable to those at the minimum level. Lowest level worker in the civil service.

—For workers earning above minimum wage, they only have additional 35k wage award added to their current salary and no adjustment increase with respect to minimum wage.
OnionBandit:
which one be talk too much for here? Are you new to our blogs creating sensational headlines out of every development?
Can you all screenshot where Sanwo Olu denied paying 70k minimum wage? Show us the difference of what was reported before and the explanation he is making now.
