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.
