Ahead of the 2023 elections, Governor Bababjide Sanwo-Olu has announced an upward review of salaries for the over 100,000 public workers in Lagos.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, who did not disclose the actual increment, said the increase will be above the Federal Government’s minimum wage standard, “as Lagos is a pacesetter and first in setting the standard.”
