Workers may receive higher pay without a minimum wage increase. The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria suggests that the government can raise salaries for certain employees. A wage range of N200,000 to N400,000 is mentioned as possible.

The union's stance is that the minimum wage should serve as a baseline, allowing for higher pay. The government is urged to take action on worker pay immediately.

Further information on this matter can be found through the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria's recent statements.
