The ministry of labor has said that the report that president Bola Tinubu would announce a wage award to workers on Independence Day is untrue.

This was contained in a statement issued by the director of press and public relations in the ministry of labor; Mr. Olajide Oshundun, in Abuja.

Mr. Oshundun encouraged the public to ignore the report because it is a total fabrication of an interview to suit the narrative of the interests best-known to the media outlet that published the story.

He further added that, for the benefit of doubt, it is important to stress that the director of information at the ministry does not speak for the president and his office is not involved in writing the speech for the president to warrant him making any categorical statement on its content.
