President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday signed the National Minimum Wage Bill into law.
The Senate had on March 19 passed the bill, approving N30,000 as the new national minimum wage.
The House of Representatives, had earlier passed the bill before the National Assembly shut down its operations to enable lawmakers to participate in the 2019 general elections.
The delay in signing the bill into law had instigated the workers who pleaded with President Buhari to apend his signature on the bill before the coming workers day on May 1.
