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.”
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
