New Minimum Wage: Buhari discloses plans to review workers salaries downwards

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday revealed his next line of
action when the new minimum wage for workers is implemented.

Buhari disclosed that his administration will be going into
negotiations for salary review for all the workers who are already
earning above the new minimum wage.

The president made the disclosure while inaugurating a technical
advisory committee for the implementation of the new national minimum
wage at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to Buhari, his administration was getting ready to meet
these new demands.

"We anticipate that after the new minimum wage has been passed into
law, we will be going into negotiations for salary review for all the
workers who are already earning above the new minimum wage.

"It is therefore important that we are properly prepared to meet these
demands," he said.
