Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, has stated that the Federal Government is working towards reviewing workers’ salary.

The former Speaker of the House of Representatives stated this on Thursday in Abuja at an event organized by Working People United.

He said that the N70,000 minimum wage which was approved by thr President Bola Tinubu administration in 2024 is no longer in line with the reality of things in the country.

“N70,000 wage, which was a milestone in 2024 must be honestly reassessed against today’s realities,” he said.

The former lawmaker added, “I can confirm to you that when the time comes to begin the process of reviewing the national minimum wage, this administration will approach that endeavor not as an adversary of Labour, but as a partner.

“President Tinubu has said time and again that the custodians of the nation’s machinery deserve a fair and commensurate wage, and as you all well know by now, this is the president who means precisely what he says and does exactly what he means.

“It must be said that good governance is not a performance stage by government for the benefit of a passive audience, it’s a partnership between those who govern and those who are governed.

“No where is that partnership more vital than the relationship between government and the working people of Nigeria.

“It is with this understanding in mind that I ask the leaders of organized labour and the members of working people united to remain what you have so often been at your finest, partners in progress rather than antagonist in perpetuity, let us choose to dialog over disruption, because as we have proved again and again, we achieve far more when we visit together than when we retreat, retreat to our separate corners.”
