Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, has disclosed that the Federal Government has made provisions for
implementation of the N30,000 New Minimum Wage.
He stated this while addressing reporters in Abuja on
Thursday, adding that the government was committed to the implementation.
He said, “Look at where we took it from; from N18,000 as a
minimum wage.
“What is before the House of Representatives is N30,000,
although our recommendation is N27,000.
“Whatever comes out of it, I can tell you that this
President has sufficient capital in terms of his integrity to own up whatever
the Nigerian people decide.”
Mustapha further explained that the government has made
adequate arrangement in the 2019 Appropriation Bill, to cater for the new wage.
The SGF said that the importance of this was to give workers
across the country a reasonable wage.
He added that President Muhammadu Buhari does not take the
welfare of workers for granted.
He added, “We have made adequate provision in the 2019
budget; we mean well for the good workers of Nigeria.”
