As of 2019, the minimum wage in Nigeria is N30,000 (Thirty Thousand Naira) per month. This was announced by the Federal Government of Nigeria in April 2019, following a long-standing demand by workers and labor unions for a review of the minimum wage.

Prior to this, the minimum wage in Nigeria was N18,000 (Eighteen Thousand Naira) per month, which had been in place since 2011. The new minimum wage of N30,000 was implemented to help address the rising cost of living in the country and to improve the standard of living of workers.

However, some states and local governments may have their own minimum wage rates, which may be higher or lower than the federal minimum wage.
