President Bola Tinubu has signed the new N70,000 national minimum wage into law.
The President signed the bill during a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa on Monday in Abuja.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, and other members of the National Assembly leadership joined the FEC for the ceremony.
This marks the first time since the start of the current democratic dispensation that the Council, presided over by the President, has included the leadership of the legislature in a FEC meeting at the Council Chamber.
