Governors Meet Over Minimum Wage, LG Autonomy
Governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) are currently meeting in Abuja on the proposed minimum wage and LGA autonomy.
The governors had recently expressed concerns about the federal government’s proposed N60,000 minimum wage for workers, warning that it is unsustainable.
They argued that implementing such a wage would result in many states allocating their entire monthly federation account disbursements solely to salary payments.
They urged the tripartite committee to agree on a fair and sustainable minimum wage.
On Tuesday, the federal government announced that President Bola Tinubu would engage in further consultations with the governors and the private sector before deciding on the new minimum wage.
Over the past few months, the federal and state governments, organised labour, and the private sector have been negotiating a new minimum wage.
At the last meeting of the tripartite committee, organised labour rejected the N62,000 proposal by the government and insisted on N250,000 as the living wage.
The federal government had asked the labour unions to demand a more realistic and sustainable minimum wage.
