Minimum Wage: Governors Hold Emergency Meeting

Governors of the 36 states of Nigeria have fixed an emergency meeting for today, Wednesday, over the proposed new minimum wage.

This comes a few hours after the Federal Executive Council, FEC, on Tuesday stepped down the memo on minimum wage.

Recall that the 36 governors had earlier rejected the proposed N62,000 by the federal government, stating that some states would have to borrow money if the amount is implemented.

However, the organized labour is still insisting on N250,000 wage.

According to Daily Trust, the Acting Director on Media and Public Affairs of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, Halima Ahmed, disclosed that the governors would meet in Abuja by 7 pm today, Wednesday, over the matter.
