Buhari and new salary

You're referring to the recent news about President Muhammadu Buhari's approval of a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.

On April 18, 2019, President Buhari signed the new National Minimum Wage Act into law, which sets the minimum wage for Nigerian workers at N30,000 (approximately $82 USD) per month. This is an increase from the previous minimum wage of N18,000 (approximately $49 USD) per month.

The new minimum wage was the result of a long-standing demand by Nigerian workers and labor unions, who had been pushing for an increase in the minimum wage to reflect the rising cost of living in the country. The increase is expected to benefit millions of Nigerian workers, including those in the public and private sectors.

It's worth noting that the new minimum wage is not a universal increase, and some states in Nigeria have already implemented higher minimum wages. Additionally, the federal government has also announced plans to increase the salaries of its workers to reflect the new minimum wage.
