The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has disclosed that workers in the state have been enjoying an additional N35,000 wage allowance since January.
Sanwo-Olu, who made this known at a state function on Thursday, revealed that the state will equally roll out a new minimum wage scheme soon.
He said: “The civil servants and all public officers in Lagos know that since January, we have continued to pay the wage allowance of a minimum of N35,000 over and above what they were earning before.
…
“What this means is that people that were earning a minimum of N35,000 or more before are now earning over N70,00. That is what they have been enjoying since January.
“So it is important for people to know that we make these things very clear that this government has doubled up to ensure that at this difficult time, it has not left the citizens on their own.”
