Minimum Wage: FG issues warning to private employers who pay less than N70k, says they could end up facing jail time

The Federal Government has mandated that private sector recruitment agencies compensate their employees with a minimum salary of N70,000, warning of potential imprisonment for those who fail to comply.

It is important to note that the Bola Tinubu administration introduced this new minimum wage to address the prevailing economic conditions, asserting that no worker in Nigeria, whether in the public or private sector, should receive less than this stipulated amount.
