Subsidy: Minimum Wage Will Be Reviewed To Reflect Realities – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu, on Friday, reiterated that improved livelihood for Nigerians remains a top priority of his administration, noting that the national minimum wage needs a review to reflect realities.

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that Tinubu also advised national and sub-national governments to work together on the issue, which, according to him, already requires “soul searching.’’

The President spoke when he received All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors under the umbrella of Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the nation’s capital. The members of the PGF were led by their Chairman, Senator Hope Uzodinma of Imo State

According to Tinubu, “We need to do some arithmetic and soul searching on the minimum wage,’’ adding, “We will have to take a look at that together, and the revenue. We must strengthen the source and application of our revenue.’’

President Tinubu urged the governors to seize the opportunity of being chosen among millions of citizens in their states to make a difference in the lives of people, adding that he will work for the benefit of Nigerians.

He said, “This meeting is not strange to me, and the content of the meeting is so valuable. The camaraderie is very stimulating. This is about the Nigerian project, not Bola Tinubu.”

He also assured that the multiple exchange rates will be streamlined, noting that governance was a continuum.

He said, “I have inherited the assets and liabilities of my predecessor. This is the first time you entered the Council Chambers, and it is my first time too for a meeting.
