FG to review new minimum wage in less than two years

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, has confirmed that President Bola Tinubu is dedicated to reviewing the minimum wage after three years. She added that the current minimum wage will be reviewed in less than two years. Onyejeocha made these statements in Umuahia, following a meeting with labor leaders in Abia. She highlighted the President’s strong commitment to workers’ welfare and his determination to honor all promises made to them.

“We are not going to allow minimum wage review to be forever.

“It used to be about five years, but now, in three year’s time, which is less than two years, we will also review the minimum wage,” Onyejeocha said.

According to her, it has been said and documented.

Tinubu approved N70,000 minimum wage in July 2024 with a promise to review it every three years.

Onyejeocha, who hails from Abia, said that she decided to meet with the labour leaders, who she described as her constituents, “to wish them well”, after spending her Christmas and New Year holidays in the state.

She reminded the leaders that labour is an integral part of the government that should help to ensure stability and peace, not just at work place, but also in the country.

“I reminded them that we should have a strike-free year, where we will be able to work with the government in partnership, knowing that if we are in peace, we will be more productive,” she said.

Mr. Ogbomna Okoro, the Abia Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, commended the minister for her notable achievements in office, expressing the organization’s pride in her and eagerness to work alongside her. The Minister, who comes from a royal family, also held a roundtable discussion with the Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers, where she took the opportunity to explain various Federal Government policies to them.
