Wike Approves N70,000 Minimum Wage For FCT
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has approved the immediate implementation of the new N70,000 minimum wage for all administrative staff under the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).
This significant development was disclosed in a statement by Anthony Odeh, the Press Secretary to the Head of the Civil Service of the FCT, on Tuesday.
The decision comes as part of efforts to align with the Minimum Wage Bill signed into law by President Bola Tinubu in May 2024, which set N70,000 as the new minimum wage. The move follows concerns raised by labor unions, with the FCT chapters of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) threatening to embark on a nationwide strike on November 30, 2024, over delays in implementing the policy across some states, including the FCT.

According to the statement, the minister’s approval includes the payment of three months’ salary arrears, effective November 2024, as a measure to alleviate the challenges faced by FCTA staff.
The Acting Head of Civil Service of the FCT, Mrs. Grace Adayilo, praised the decision, noting, “This gesture will further spur the entire administration staff to support the minister in continuing to deliver on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.”
Labor unions had earlier criticised the Wike-led administration for its perceived delay in addressing workers’ grievances and for failing to meet with labor representatives since Wike assumed office in August 2023.
The approval of the minimum wage and arrears payment is seen as a strategic step by Wike to address workers’ concerns and reinforce the administration’s commitment to their welfare. The minister’s actions are expected to ease labor tensions and foster a more productive relationship with FCTA employees.
