Has buhari signed minimum wage news

A timely question!

Yes, President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the new minimum wage bill into law. On April 18, 2019, he signed the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act, 2019, which increases the national minimum wage from N18,000 to N30,000 per month.

The signing of the bill was a culmination of a long process that began in 2016, when the Tripartite Committee on Minimum Wage was set up to review the national minimum wage. The committee, comprising representatives of the government, labor unions, and the private sector, submitted its report in November 2017, recommending a new minimum wage of N30,000 per month.

After several delays and negotiations, the bill was passed by the National Assembly in March 2019, and it was sent to President Buhari for assent. The signing of the bill into law has been hailed as a major victory for workers and a significant step towards improving the welfare of Nigerian workers.

It's worth noting that the new minimum wage will apply to all federal government employees, as well as employees of states and local governments that choose to adopt it. However, the implementation of the new wage will require a review of the salary structure of various organizations and a possible increase in the salaries of workers.
