Minimum wage: FG to inaugurate implementation committee Tuesday
The Federal Government will on Tuesday in Abuja inaugurate the N30,000 new national minimum wage implementation committee, almost one month after President Muhammadu Buhari signed the bill into law.
Ngige did not state when government would start payment but said that arrears would be paid anytime implementation of the new wage began. ”It is a whole process and the salary and wages commission will do its job before implementation,” the minister said. The minister said that those at the lowest cadre of employment whether in the public or private sector would earn N30,000 as the law provided.He said however for the cadre of workers already earning above the minimum wage, there would be consequential adjustment from the top.
