Lagos civil servants with N35,000 salary now earn N170,000: Sanwo-Olu
Lagos civil servants earning N35,000 as salary have begun earning N170,000. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said the civil servants began receiving the new wage in January.
The governor disclosed this on Wednesday at the Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, during the flag-off of the ‘Eko Cares Initiative’, a social intervention program launched to alleviate the pains of residents caused by the country’s economic hardship.
“The civil servants and all public officers know that since January, we have continued to pay the wage allowance, minimum of N35,000, over and above what they were earning before,” he revealed.
The governor added, “So, what it means is that people that were earning a minimum of N35,000 to N40,000 before are now earning N170,000. That’s what they’ve been enjoying since January.”
Sanwo-Olu also mentioned that “by the grace of God, very soon, we will see a new minimum wage that will be approved by the federal and state governments.”
