N85,000 minimum wage shows Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to workers’ welfare – TUC
The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), Lagos State Chapter, has described the approval of N85,000 minimum wage as a demonstration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to addressing workers’ welfare in the state.
Chairman of TUC in the state, Mr Gbenga Ekundayo, and Secretary, Mr Aladetan Abiodun, stated this in a statement issued on Friday in Lagos.
The duo, while acknowledging the minimum wage pronouncement, commended the governor for recognising the need to review the current minimum wage.
“While we have taken note of the N85,000 offer, we look forward to the upcoming meeting on Monday, Oct. 21, where we will commence discussions on this important matter.
“Organised Labour remains hopeful that through constructive dialogue, we can arrive at a more robust outcome that reflects both the economic realities of Lagos and the contributions of its workers,’’ they said.
The union leaders, who expressed optimism over the upcoming discussions, said that principles of good faith, fairness, and mutual respect would guide the negotiations.
“We are ready to work collaboratively with the government to ensure that the outcome is both beneficial to the workers and sustainable for the state.
“We remain committed to ensuring that this process upholds the highest standards of transparency and accountability.
“The welfare of workers is paramount, and we trust that our engagement with the government will result in an outcome that truly reflects the value of its workforce and the need to improve their living conditions,” they added.

BREAKING: Sunday Igboho submits petition to UK PM, Keir Starmer for Yoruba Nation
Freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Igboho, has submitted a petition to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, to consider the creation of a Yoruba nation.
Igboho was said to have submitted the petition on behalf of Prof. Adebanji Akintoye, the leader of the Yoruba Nation movement.
The movement is seeking the immediate intervention of the UK Prime Minister and his government in their agitation to set up a country that will be predominantly owned by indigenous Yoruba people.
This was disclosed by Igboho’s spokesman, Koiki, via his X page on Monday.
He wrote: “At exactly 14:00 hrs Dr. Chief Sunday Igboho delivered a petition to the UK Prime Minister on behalf of Prof. Adebanji Akintoye, leader of the YORUBA NATION movement, and Olayomi Koiki, his spokesman @10DowningStreet.”
Igboho has been at the forefront of the actualization of a Yoruba nation.
Recall that Akintoye had earlier accused the Nigerian government of trying to cajole Igboho into withdrawing from the agitations.
The octogenarian said during the agitator’s travails in Benin Republic, a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), had used his influence as an envoy to sneak a paper to Igboho in prison, promising him billions of naira if only he would renounce his agitations for a Yoruba nation.
He, however, said Igboho refused to sign the paper, which was later taken away by Buratai.
He said: “Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, came to him in the prison, promising him billions of naira if he would just sign a paper that Buratai brought.
“That he (Igboho) should say he had renounced the Yoruba Nation struggle, that he didn’t want the Yoruba Nation struggle anymore, that he had opted out of it.”
