Isaac Fayose Urges Tinubu to Increase Minimum Wage to ₦200,000
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.

“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
