P resident Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appealed to state governors
to start paying the wage awards pending the determination of
the new minimum wage to reduce the hardship of the
economy on the people.
The president implied that if the states had implemented the wage
awards, it would provide much-needed relief without causing
inflationary pressures.
Speaking in Minna at the flag-off of the agricultural mechanization
revolution for food security and the commissioning of the remodeled
domestic terminal of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport in
Minna, the President stated that all states need to adopt the wage
award saying that the National Executive Council would also adopt it.
He said: “If all of you, the sub-nationals have been paying the wages
award, pending the determination of the new salary wage. Let all the
states start paying the wages award. Whatever they are taking now
plus the wage award would relieve the public.
“Please, I am not giving an order, I am appealing to you states, start
paying the wages awards, let everyone start paying it. It is a relief to
the people. The mechanism is the fact that it won’t be inflationary if
we announce the new salary wage in a few weeks or months, they
would have gotten used to the basic wages of N30,000 plus the
wages award, and it will have a dampening effect on the market.
Please get sub-nationals together and NEC should adopt this.”
The President assured that the student loans and other economic
measures would soon commence as steps are being taken by the
government to relieve the people of hunger.
“The student loan programme will commence, there will be
unemployment benefits for our graduates, and the social security
programme for the elderly and vulnerable will commence, we are
fine-tuning all these areas. We will relieve people of hunger.”
Tinubu also outlined plans for a comprehensive programme to
address the challenges of violent attacks, cattle rustling, and other
related issues pledging to organize an inauguration of the Livestock
Change programme in Nigeria within the next few weeks, aiming to
transform the current challenges into economic opportunities.
“Give me two to three weeks. You will be part of the inauguration of
the livestock change in Nigeria. I know what it means to economic
sabotage for roaming cows to eat up the crops and vegetation of our
lands, it could be painful but when we reorient the herders and make
provision for cattle rearing. The Governors should provide the lands
and as the President, I am committed to giving you a comprehensive
programme that will solve this problem.”
