Minimum Wage: I Will Approve What Nigeria Can Afford – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu says he will approve a new minimum wage that the government can afford.

President Tinubu stated this at a dinner to mark Nigeria’s 25 years of unbroken Democracy in Abuja on Wednesday night, June 12.

The President appreciated those who stood by him over the years and promised Nigerians that he wouldn’t depart from the tenets of democratic governance.

“I have to celebrate with you my dear brother, Senate President, Deputy Senate President. The minimum wage is going to be what Nigerians can afford, what you can afford and what I can afford. Cut your coat according to your size, if you have size at all,” he said

The President also promised to bring down the prices of food by tackling the menace of banditry that has forced many farmers away from their farms.
