Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved a N50,000 wage award for public sector workers in Lagos State.
The governor announced the award on Friday during the International Workers’ Day celebration held at Mobolaji Johnson Arena.
Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, said the award would apply for the month of May as part of efforts to cushion the impact of rising cost of living.
“For the month of May, Lagos State Government has approved an additional N50,000 for all workers.
“We are aware of prevailing economic challenges, including increasing fuel prices and global pressure. This decision is to support our workforce during this period,” he said.
The governor commended workers for their contributions to the state’s development, describing them as critical to Lagos’ growth.
“Why do workers rise before dawn daily, striving to build and sustain this state? That sense of duty is the reason Lagos continues to stand strong.
