President Bola Tinubu has reassured Nigerian workers that his government will implement a new National Minimum Wage to alleviate their plights this year.
President Tinubu, in a Nationwide broadcast on New Year’s Day, Monday, said his administration would work diligently to make sure every Nigerian feels the impact of their government.
According to him, the economic aspirations and the material well-being of the poor, the most vulnerable and the working people shall not be neglected.
The President also emphasized that he would not tolerate poor performance from any of his appointees, saying there wouldn’t be any room for failure.
He explained that in his 2024 Budget presentation to the National Assembly, his administration’s eight priority areas included national defence and internal security, job creation, macro-economic stability, investment environment optimization, human capital development, poverty reduction and social security.
“Because we take our development agenda very seriously, our 2024 budget reflects the premium we placed on achieving our governance objectives,” he said.
