Why Tinubu backdated minimum wage payment

Legit.ng earlier reported that President Tinubu's administration has confirmed it backdated the payment of the new minimum wage to July 2024.

NSIWC's chairman, Ekpo Nta, said the development was because that was the month the president signed the new minimum wage bill into law.

However, this contradicted an earlier statement by the minister of state for labour, Nkiruka Onyejeocha, who said the minimum wage payment would commence from May 1.
