N30,000 Minimum Wage Implementation Begins Today —presidency by midolian(m): 5:33pm On Apr 18, 2019
Implementation of the N30, 000 minimum wage just signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari takes effect from Thursday, April 18, a presidential aide, Mr. Ita Enang, has announced.

Enang, who is Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters, told State House correspondents on Thursday in Abuja that the Minimum Wage Repel and Enactment Act, 2019 has replaced the existing one.

According to him, the bill now makes it mandatory for employers of labour in both public and private organisations to pay N30,000 as minimum wage.

“You can see me smiling on behalf of Nigerian workers. President Muhammadu Buhari has assented to the Minimum Wage Repel and Enactment Act, 2019.

“This makes it compulsory for all employers of labour in Nigeria to pay to their workers the sum of N30,000.

“This excludes persons who are employing less than 25 workers, persons who work in a ship which sails out of jurisdiction and other persons who are in other kinds of regulated employment which are accepted by the Act.

“It also gives workers the right if you are compelled by any circumstance to accept salary that is less than N30,000 to sue your employer to recover the balance.

It also authorises the minister of labour and any person nominated by the minister or any person designated by the minister of labour in any ministry, department or agency to, on your behalf, take action in your name against such employer to recover the balance of your wages.

According to the presidential aide, the bill ensures and mandates the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission and the minister or labour to be the chief and principal enforcers of the provisions of this law.

“This law applies to all agencies, persons and bodies throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Enang enjoined Nigerian workers to continue to support the president and his administration’s policies in return for the gesture.



“Mr President will celebrate with workers and the Federal Government will celebrate. This is Mr. President showing workers the love he has for them and we will match with the Nigerian workers.”

Asked if it the new minimum wage covers the National Youth Service Corps, Enang said, “It covers all persons covered by the Act.”

Can't imagin how people can reason with sentiment. What can 30k buy in the market today as compared with 18k under previous administration. Meanwhile, OBJ increased lecturers' salary without making noise and GEJ increased workers salary without strike and no noise. Can't you people leave religion and ethnicity and face truth for ones in this country? How has APC helped you as a person? Do you go to market and buy things without money or do you get fuel free of charge at the gas station? It's unfortunate I share the same geographical space with some lunatics.

You guys behave like dogs. If you chase a dog, it will pant; If it chases you, it will pant; If you don't chase it, it will pant; if it doesn't chase you, it will still pant.

I don't know what is difficult in appreciating this even though it is little. Must you wail all of the time? undecided undecided

The act is not unappreciated.

But saying it has bought you and your ilks 2023 is where stupidity seemed to set in.

There would be more to 2023 than just increasing worker's salary to 30k.

And hey, thanks for the "Allegory of the dog"

Ignorance and lack of education will kill this country and it's pathetic the percentage of Nigerians who fall into that category.

Do you know what value 30K can get you?

Can't you just appreciate this man efforts for once The fact that you're pained he won the election doesn't mean you shouldn't reason and be realistic in your submission.

And if you don't know 30,000 will go a long way to solve people's problems, for someone who has been receiving 18k before to be paid 30k now is an improvement upon his life. You don't have to be bitter all the time. Pls kindly get over the post election trauma or post elections anxiety disorder.

There is actually nothing to appreciate here. Nigerians like suffering so they can say "We are among the strongest people on Earth, smiling and suffering crap".

It is definitely more than 18K but have you heard of a country called Venezuela ? and the clusterfuck position they are in, there's a lot of money in the hands of citizens but what value can you get with the money?

I predict a dollar will hit 400 in a weeks time, pump price of pms 180 and VAT increase with at least 50%
This is the beginning of the end!
