President Bola Tinubu says he will approve a new minimum wage that the government can afford.
He stated this on Wednesday at a dinner to mark Nigeria’s 25 years of unbroken Democracy in Abuja.
The President appreciated those who stood by him over the years and promised Nigerians that he won’t depart from the tenets of democratic governance.
The President also promised to bring down the prices of food by tackling the menace of banditry that has forced many farmers away from their farms.
Earlier, in his Democracy Day speech, the President honoured MKO Abiola and other heroes of democracy.
He also rallied Nigerians to support his administration’s efforts to strengthen the economy and informed citizens that a bill for a new minimum wage would be sent to the National Assembly soon, among other things.
