Information Minister Mohammed Idris had said, “The new national minimum that Mr President is expected to submit to the National Assembly is ₦70,000”.

The transmission of the wage bill came about six weeks after the President said in his Democracy Day speech on June 12, 2024, that an executive bill on the new national minimum wage for workers would be sent to the National Assembly for passage.
