The Presidency has debunked report circulating in the media that the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has proposed N105,000 as the new minimum wage.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, while reacting to a report claiming that the Minister has submitted a report with N105,000 as a new minimum wage proposal, said the news as false.
He said “The Honorable Minister of Finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Wale Edun has not proposed N105,000 minimum wage. The contrary story being disseminated is false,” he said.
President Bola Tinubu has given Edum 48 hours to come up with new minimum wage.
