LAWMAKERS in Nigeria have passed the National Minimum Wage Act 2019 (Amendment Bill) www.AfriqueCAN.com
It would be recalled that President Bola Tinubu and the leadership of the Organised Labour agreed on N70,000 as the new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.
The bill scaled second and third readings at both legislative chambers in the National Assembly, just minutes after it was transmitted by President Bola Tinubu.
In a unanimous vote after a clause consideration in the Committee of the Whole, the National Minimum Wage Bill scaled third reading and was passed at the Senate.
Like the Senate, the House of Representatives similarly passed the bill immediately.
President Tinubu is expected to sign the bill into law.
