Nigerian Government Cuts Minimum Wage Review Time from Five to Two Years
The Nigerian government has announced plans to shorten the minimum wage review cycle from five years to two, signaling a more frequent adjustment to align with economic realities.
This decision was revealed by the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, during an address in Abia State.
Onyejeocha explained that the revised timeline is part of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerian workers.
She emphasized that the government is determined to ensure that wage reviews happen regularly and in a timely manner.
“We are no longer sticking to the old five-year schedule for minimum wage reviews,” Onyejeocha said.
“Instead, we will now revisit the minimum wage every two years, with the next review set for less than two years from now.”
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
However, Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented the President and carried out the ceremony.
As he commissioned the project, he stated “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects.”
Residents of Lagos should prepare for traffic disruptions as several roads will be closed due to the visit of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is set to commission infrastructural projects.
