Governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) are currently meeting in Abuja on the proposed minimum wage and LGA autonomy.
Gatekeepers News reports that the governors 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.
This is a developing story.
