Lagos State Workers Have Been Earning Minimum Of N70,000 Since January – Sanwo-Olu

The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has come out to say that workers have been enjoying an additional N35,000 wage allowance since January.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the civil servant and all public officers in Lagos know that this has been the case since 2024 started, and it is important for Lagosians to be aware that the government has doubled up to ensure that workers are comfortable at this difficult time.

Sanwo-Olu added that his administration also created 59 makeshift markets outside of the regular markets recently.

His words, “The civil servant and all public officers in Lagos know that since January, we have continued to pay the wage allowance of a minimum of N35,000 over and above what they were earning before.

What this means is that people that are earning a minimum of N35,000 or more before are now earning over N70,000. That is what they have been enjoying since January.

So it is important for people to know that we make these things very clear that this government has doubled up to ensure that at this difficult time, it has not left the citizens on their own.

We created 59 makeshift markets outside of the regular markets out of our 57 local government and local council development areas and made it Sunday-Sunday market.”

WOW.
