According to the duo, the approval of the new national minimum wage was a good omen and a morale booster to the entire workers in the country.

Abdullahi Adeka, NLC Chairman, said though the union expected this long ago, “thank God it came to pass.“

Adeka appealed to the President and the governors to give the new national minimum wage accelerated attention it deserved to ease the hardship being faced by workers.
