New minimum wage in nigeria

As of 2022, the minimum wage in Nigeria is N30,000 (Thirty Thousand Naira) per month. This was announced by the Federal Government of Nigeria in April 2020, following a long-standing demand by workers and labor unions for a review of the minimum wage.

The new minimum wage was signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari on April 18, 2020, and it applies to all federal government employees, as well as employees of states and local governments that choose to adopt it.

It's worth noting that the minimum wage is not the same as the national minimum wage, which is the lowest wage that an employer can pay an employee. The national minimum wage is set by the National Minimum Wage Act, which was enacted in 2011.

Here is a breakdown of the minimum wage in Nigeria:

• National Minimum Wage: N18,000 (Eighteen Thousand Naira) per month (as of 2011)
• Federal Government Minimum Wage: N30,000 (Thirty Thousand Naira) per month (as of 2020)
• State Government Minimum Wage: Varies by state (some states have adopted the federal government's minimum wage, while others have their own minimum wage rates)
• Local Government Minimum Wage: Varies by local government (some local governments have adopted the federal government's minimum wage, while others have their own minimum wage rates)

It's also important to note that the minimum wage is just a guideline, and employers are free to pay their employees more than the minimum wage if they choose to do so.
