While some Nigerians are happy about the development others quickly took to social media to complain about the new minimum wage, especially because the approved wage comes with increased Value Added Tax (VAT).

I also think the labour union should be blamed too. When negotiating the #minimumwage with the government, they could have made it a part of the deal that the government doesn't pull the #VAT increment stunt.
