Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, said security guards, housemaids, chefs, drivers and others will also receive the new approved N70,000 new national minimum wage by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The civil rights activist said it also extends to gardeners, cleaners and ‘Musa for gate’.

He stated this via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @ShehuSani on Thursday, July 18.

Sani wrote: “Just know that if you have a security guard, Housemaid, Chef, Driver, Shopkeeper, Gardener or Cleaner; the minimum wage you will pay them is now 70k.

“The payment for ‘Musa for gate’ na 70k.”

Nigerians react to N70,000 minimum wage

_@nancyillohnnaji Comrade Senator, judging from the last minimum wage act of 2019, Some workers are exempted. Part-time workers, commission or piece per rate, companies employing less than 25 people, seasonal workers, employed in a vessel or aircraft as regulating laws apply. An agreed sum is paid

_@donald_segun There should be an actual punishment for employers of labour who default on the payment of the new national minimum wage. As we hold govt accountable, we should also hold every individual, and group who are employers of labour accountable.

_@VeriNigerian Leave musa!!! Start guarding yourself so who fit pay Musa enough for Musa to feed his family go see Musa and employ Musa! No dey block people blessings.

_@basediah dey play, where Musa employment letter? no make them fire Musa o, skilled workers only.

_@PaultwinOkoye If you can't pay your gateman about $50 dollars a month, then you definitely cannot afford a gateman.
