President Muhammadu Buhari has challenged Nigerian workers to justify the signing into law of the new N30,000 National Minimum wage by showing more commitments to their work.
The President stated this shortly after signing the national minimum into law in Abuja on Thursday.
He also enjoined the Nigeria Labour Congress to show more understanding of the current socio-economic situations in country.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters, Ita Enang, had earlier told State House correspondents in Abuja that the implementation of the N30, 000 minimum wage just signed into law by President Buhari would take effect from April 18.
According to him, the bill now makes it mandatory for employers of labour in both public and private organisations to pay N30, 000 as minimum wage.
According to the presidential aide, the bill ensures and mandates the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission and the minister or labour, to be the chief and principal enforcers of the provisions of this law.
