The presidency on Thursday, June 6, dispelled rumours surrounding an alleged proposal by the minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Wale Edun, suggesting a N105,000 minimum wage for Nigerian workers.
The special adviser to the president on information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on his X platform refuted the claim, saying that such a proposal was never put forward by the finance minister.
He described the story as false and misleading.
He wrote: “The Honorable Minister of Finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Wale Edun has not proposed N105,000 minimum wage. The contrary story being disseminated is false.”
