The Lagos state government has committed to paying a minimum wage of N85,000 to civil servants – higher than the federal government’s approved minimum wage of N70,000.
Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos state governor, stated this in an interview on Channels Television, where he talked about his government’s plans for the state and effort to address problems.
The Governor explained that the increase in the state’s minimum wage beyond the federal government’s approved amount is a matter of affordability and capacity and in response to the significantly high cost of living in Lagos state.
