PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu says he will review the minimum wage to align with the current economic realities of the country.
President Tinubu made this statement on Friday while meeting with the members of the Progressive Governors Forum, who declared support for him on the removal of subsidy.
According to him, the federal and state governments need to take a look at the minimum wage together and also strengthen the source and application of the country’s revenue.
“I have inherited the assets and liabilities of my predecessor. This is the first time you entered the Council Chambers, and it is my first time too for a meeting,’’ Tinubu told the governors.
“As progressives and thinkers under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress, you have a role to play in educating our people and making sure we manage ourselves,” the president added.
Speaking on exchange rates, the former Lagos State Governor, assured that the multiple exchange rates currently prevalent in the country would be streamlined.
‘’If we work together, the Nigeria of our dreams is not far away. Rest assured that we will not have multiple exchange rates anymore. You asked for this meeting, and I had to set aside time to be here.
“We have a political party that we will need to manage, whichever way, we have inherited assets and liabilities, and we cannot complain.”
