The senate has passed the bill
raising the national minimum wage to N30,000.
The upper legislative chamber
passed the bill after adopting the report of its ad hoc committee on the
national minimum wage at plenary on Tuesday.
The house of representatives had
last year passed the bill which also pegged the minimum wage for both federal
and state workers at N30,000.
President Muhammadu Buhari sent
the wage bill for consideration after the national council of state approved
it.
The council had approved N27,000
while the federal government said it would increase it to N30,000 for its
workers.
But the tripartite committee earlier set up by the federal
government had approved N30,000 for both federal and state workers.
