Gov Bagudu approves N30,000 minimum wage

Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State on Monday approved payment of N30,000 minimum wage.

President Muhammadu Buhari on April 18, 2019, threw the labour community into a joyous mood by signing the new minimum wage of N30,000 into law.

However, with uncertainty over the payment of the approved minimum wage by some states, Kebbi State becomes the first in the country to implement the new minimum wage.

According to the statement released by Kebbi state government, the payment of N30,000 minimum wage will be effective from September 2019.
