Is this the region they're claiming Atiku would divide votes with Buhari? If he gets 25% of votes in this region, he should thank his stars.

LOL, yeah

its his choice he decides what suites Him

The Presidency has frowned at misinterpretation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s remarks when he received the report of the Tripartite Committee on the Review of National Minimum Wage on Tuesday.

A presidential source told NAN that the president did not endorse N30,000 as proposed by the committee as being reported.

He, however, stated that President Buhari had expressed his commitment to ensuring the implementation of a new National Minimum Wage.

“But the president’s speech at the event was immediately made available to the media and nowhere indicated that the president endorsed N30,000 Minimum wage.

“It is not the duty of the president only to endorse a new national minimum wage. The process involves the Federal Executive Council (FEC), the National Economic Council (NEC) and the National Assembly.

“It is imperative for us to always avoid misinterpreting a written speech,’’ he added.

It would be recalled that President Buhari had pledged that the Federal Government would soon transmit an Executive bill (on National Minimum Wage) to the National Assembly for its passage within the shortest possible time.

He said: “Our plan is to transmit the Executive bill to the National Assembly for its passage within the shortest possible time.

“I am fully committed to having a new National Minimum Wage Act in the very near future.’’

Buhari also expressed delight that the committee had successfully completed its assignment in a peaceful and non-controversial manner.

“Let me use this opportunity to recognise the leadership of the organised labour and private sector as well as representatives of State and Federal Governments for all your hard work.

“The fact that we are here today, is a notable achievement.

“As the Executive Arm commences its review of your submission, we will continue to engage you all in closing any open areas presented in this report.

“I, therefore, would like to ask for your patience and understanding in the coming weeks.”

Yusuf Adamu, north-west publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In an interview with NAN on Tuesday, he said his decision to dump the PDP was because of the “laudable efforts” of President Muhammadu Buhari in fighting insecurity and unemployment in the country.

“Therefore I am defecting with about 15,000 of my supporters to my new party,” he said.

“Buhari has really done well in repositioning the economy in just term one term

“As a media man, I am impressed with his achievements. Therefore, Buhari, deserves another term to still reposition the economy effectively.

“It is in view of this that I dumped PDP and joined the ruling party to contribute my effort for the continuity of the president.”

Adamu said he will go back to his home state Jigawa to join Muhammadu Badaru, the state governor, towards achieving his second term bid.

I agree with you

NaijaRoyalty:

30k may be too small , but it's still better than nothing .

Fear of 2019.Now will the FG and the state governors truly keep to this commitment

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday endorsed N30,000 as the new national minimum wage.

He gave his approval while receiving the report of the Tripartite Committee on the Review of National Minimum Wage at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The report was submitted by the committee’s chairman, Amal Pepple.

With the approval, a bill is expected to be sent to the National Assembly to effect the change from N18,000 to N30,000.

The amount was adopted at a meeting between top government officials and labour leaders on Monday.

The organised labour had threatened to commence nationwide strike on Tuesday if the government did not agree on N30,000.

The federal government had initially proposed N24,000, while state government offered to pay N22,500 to workers but labour rejected the proposals, insisting on N30,000.

Ayuba Wabba, president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), had told reporters on Monday that the decision to suspend the industrial action was taken after agreements were reached.

“Having reached this position and agreements signed, the proposed strike action is hereby suspended,” he said.

Wabba had refused to disclose the amount arrived at, saying it would be made public after the committee had submitted its report to Buhari

He thanked stakeholders for their understanding while particularly, appreciating the role of the private sector.
