“As the Nigerian government, we shall adjust in conformity with what is happening in wages.

Ngige added that an adjustment of minimum wages will reflect what is happening in the economy.

“More importantly, the 2019 national minimum wage act, right now has a clause for the review, which we started then, I do not know whether it is due next year or 2024.

“But before then, the adjustment of wages will reflect what is happening in the economy, just as the government has started the adjustment with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).”
