President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday alerted the National Assembly of his plan to send a memorandum on the final settlement for a new national minimum wage, hinting that his administration will pay what it can afford.
President Tinubu also clarified the circumstances relating to an earlier incident at Eagle Square, Abuja, where he slipped while attempting to climb onto the Military landrover stationed to convey him to inspect a guard of honour mounted by officers and soldiers of the Guards brigade led by their Commander.
It was part of his (Tinubu) role, as the Reviewing Officer and Commander-in-Chief, to inspect the Parade already formed up by the elite brigade to mark the 25th democracy day anniversary.
President Tinubu spoke at the anniversary dinner held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja. The event paraded not just the crème of the Nigeria political and business classes, but also those who participated in the democratic struggle from the military era.
