We Have Made An Error, Minimum Wage Should Be Paid Hourly – Fashola
Meanwhile, a former Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has stated that the National Assembly might have acted unconstitutionally by confusing salary for wage.
He explained that the National Assembly only has the power to legislate on wage which is paid hourly and not salary which is paid monthly.
Speaking on Arise News on Tuesday, the former governor argued that in other jurisdictions where the minimum wage was applicable, amendments to increase them do not necessarily translate to massive distortions across the salary compensation scheme.
He noted that, “The extant law on minimum wage is the National Minimum Wage Act 2019, which came into force on the 18th April 2019; and it provides in Section 3 (4) that, ‘The national minimum wage expires after five years, and it shall be reviewed in line with the provision of this Act’.
“Please note that it is the ‘minimum wage’ that has expired but not the Act, and as is shown in the underlined portion above, the review of the 2019 minimum wage provisions, after the period of five years, shall be in line with the provision of the 2019 Act.”
