The Federal Government has said there are preparations by President Bola Tinubu to announce a new minimum wage for civil servants.
This was revealed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, who made this known in Abuja on Thursday while flagging off a new presidential initiative for women’s empowerment.
Akume, who represented President Tinubu at the event, said things would begin to change as more Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses make their way to the country.

“Things will begin to change as more compressed natural gas (CNG) buses make their way to the country and as we prepare for a new minimum wage.”
