Buhari to pay new minimum wage when

A timely question!

According to reports, President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the new minimum wage of N30,000 (Thirty Thousand Naira) per month for federal civil servants in Nigeria. This decision was made after a long negotiation between the government and the organized labor unions.

Here are the details:

• On April 18, 2019, the National Assembly passed the new minimum wage bill, which was signed into law by President Buhari on April 18, 2019.
• The new minimum wage is expected to take effect from April 18, 2019, but the payment of the new wage will be staggered to ensure a smooth transition.
• The payment of the new minimum wage will start from July 2019, with the first batch of payments expected to be made in July 2019.
• The new minimum wage will apply to all federal civil servants, including those in the armed forces, paramilitary agencies, and other federal government agencies.

It's worth noting that the new minimum wage is a significant increase from the previous minimum wage of N18,000 (Eighteen Thousand Naira) per month, which was in place since 2011. The new wage is expected to improve the living standards of federal civil servants and their families.
