Seemingly addressing workers’ outcry over the current national minimum wage set at N30,000, the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, has promised a “living wage” that guarantees a “decent life”.
“In the Nigeria I shall have the honour and privilege to lead from May 29, workers will have more than a minimum wage,” Tinubu said in a message posted to his Twitter and Facebook accounts in commemoration of May Day on Monday.
“You will have a living wage to have a decent life and provide for your families.”

Ahead of the June inauguration of the leadership of the national assembly, the former Governor of Zamfara State and Senator elect, Abdul’Aziz Yari, on Sunday evening, urged the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to “reward performance” and not consider ethnicity or religion when zoning key offices in the 10th National Assembly.
Speaking shortly after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja, the former Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, said, “I’m advising the party, that they should reward performance, not religion. Because religion is not in the constitution of Nigeria, and it is not in our manifesto and our constitution.”
Yari, who is one of the new Senators-elect vying for the Senate Presidency, argued that the North being the highest contributor of votes to ensure the victory for the APC, in the February 25 Presidential elections, should be offered the opportunity to produce the next senate helmsman.

Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, Festus Keyamo has warned those planning to scuttle judicial processes at the election tribunal cases not to invite crisis into the country.
Keyamo made this known via a Twitter post on Monday while stressing that some people formed “watchdogs over the judiciary in respect of the pending Election Petitions.”
