This will be the worst law since creation, a nation where politicians are alrl owing workers salaries for as much as 36 months and above



Nobody should ever suggest this draconian law that can squeeze out lives out of the the masses



My anger always is that these states are giving allocations on monthly basis by the Federal government so why not pay these salaries



Most of them are not doing any project, not paying salaries, what actually are they doing with our commonwealth, one day God will expose them this year, so let's watch out

There should be a base pay on the fg side. Pp

they should do same thing to power

Not a bad idea, Lagos, Rivers, kano were able to pay the minimum wages easily while some state were struggling, hope state govt won't abuse the power.

No sir.
The idea of minimum wage does not compel EVERY state to pay the same minimum wage with states like Rivers, Lagos and Kano paying much higher. But by law, no state should go beyond the minimum wage.

In other words when FG minimum wage is N30k, Rivers minimum wage could be N60k, Lagos N55k, Kano N50k. While states like Jigawa could be paying N30k, Zamfara N31k and Eboyi N33k.

We use the same Dollar-Naira exchange rate, don't we?

commonsense.

Ok

Allow? What constraints should the NASS have held on the states if Nigeria is run truly like a federal country?

Joke of a nation


Minimum wage that's is paid monthly....is that one minimum wage?

tunwumi:
This should be the same approach on resources identified in each states too.

Enough of dumb leaders govering this nation

Arewa is using Nigeria’s government instruments to increase unitary government system in Nigeria because of the natural resources in the southern regions.
Usually divided southern regions have no choice.

what a wicked county, u collect 46 million naira monthly for doing nothing and u ar finding it difficult to pay minimum wage of just 30000 naira monthly to people that go to work everyday. wickedness
that 46 million naira can pay 1 entire local government workers in some state.

Nawa ooo...

If they are flat head, you have no head at all.

If they are frustrated, you are at the point you invited plagues to yourselves.

If they hate you, you must have used Nigeria government instruments to extrajudicially kill many of them in one Nigeria. Hatred begets hate.

AbijaJ:
I think that would be better because all states are not equal when it comes to income generation and revenues, cost of living, and other indices. We all know some states are richer/poorer than others. Therefore each state should be free decide its own fiscal policies, including wages.

It can go a long way in resolving the issue of some states owing salaries, because it is better to pay what you can afford as a state government, than to owe workers salaries that you can't afford to pay.

True. They can. But they should also do something about governors who earn the same salaries irrespective of performance.

This will not augur well for many state workers.If state independence is to go in that direction,then states should equally be granted full autonomy economic wise,where states would now own fully all mineral resources in their lands,have their own police and army while the federal govt performs ceremonial functions for Nigeria in general.
I that way,it becomes balanced.But if it's not possible,then let the status quo continues.Independence of the states when it comes to determining workers salary structure alone is anti labour.

They shld do what ever they like but they shld know that they don't have d final say

Ihatemumu:



What about people from other states? Put yourself in their shoes too

Those other state monthly expenses is very small compare to larger state like Lagos

Someone receiving 100k in core North as salary will be ok someone receiving that in Lagos will never escape poverty

Another wrong move by clueless men who never think through before letting their lame idea loose.
The worst senate/reps since 1999.

Awon oloriburuku, they didn't pass law empowering state to generate their own electricity, or control their resources they keep flexing over nonsensical. Useless lots.

Bros do your finding properly,minimum wage are not the same in a country were they practice federalism,u cant compare lagos,PH,calabar with some northern state. the 3 tiers should determine there wage. if federal govt pay every worker in a country,then all minimum wage should be the same thing

Amucha:
NLC and TUC should reject this outrightly.
Minimum wage as the name imply, simple means minimum payable to a worker in a country. It should be a national thing, while states can add to it.
The sponsor is either ignorant or hate the people.

But they can live exotic life when they can't pay salaries ba?

While I will support this bill based on precedence, and prevailing circumstances, I want to also state that, caution should be applied, such that, what the states should pay, should not be less than 80 percent of the national minimum wage, if not, states will be paying peanuts in the name of is what we can pay, according to available resources.

Kano state cannot afford #30k again.

Rivers state Government isn't paying the actual minimum wage. On the contrary, what we have here is a situation where Gov. Wike arbitrary added just 9k to the old minimum wage. I repeat Rivers State government isn't paying the new minimum wage. I am a civil servant in Rivers state. Meanwhile, Kano state you cited, has reverted back to the old minimum wage. Ganduje cited the drop in revenue from the FA as reason for the revertion to the 18k minimum wage structure.

It worth thinking about, but hope this greedy governors don't go below 10k per month.

Rivers State has not started paying minimum wage, those at the local govt are even the worst

A Good Idea. We Have So Many Items In The Exclusive List That Should Also Be Moved For Nigeria To Progress. The Revenue Allocation Formula Should Be Reviewed To Enable The States And Local Govts Cope With Additional Responsibilities.
