Minimum Wage: Anambra, Imo, Zamfara, Benue, Kano, Kogi governors refuse to pay

Civil servants have accused Anambra, Imo, Zamfara, Benue, Kano, and Kogi governors of refusing to pay the new minimum wage.

The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) said 10 states had not implemented the National Minimum Wage signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari on April 18, 2019.

The association’s National President, Tommy Okon, disclosed this at a forum organised for the Labour Writers Association of Nigeria (LAWAN) on Thursday in Lagos.

The other states are Bauchi, Kebbi, Nasarawa, and Taraba.

According to him, some states have concluded negotiations but had yet to implement the new wage.

“Anambra and Taraba have concluded negotiations but have yet to implement; Bauchi, Benue, Kebbi, Kogi, Nasarawa, Kano, and Zamfara are in the negotiation stage,” said Mr Okon.

The labour leader added that negotiation had yet to start in Imo.

He urged the state governments to put the well-being of their workers into consideration.

The unionist also called for further upward review of salaries.

He also noted that governments should not renege on agreements reached with the organised labour for industrial peace and harmony to reign.

“Salaries are no longer to be negotiated,” he said.

Mr Okon called on the federal government to amend the 2014 Pension Act and expunge sections inimical to pensioners.

According to him, gratuity payment should be embedded in the act.

“There should be a provision to spell out that this act does not forbid the payment of gratuity by employers.

“The law should not be silent on important matters that affect life; gratuity affects life,” Okon explained.

Crooks

Bag of RICE now 33k from 5k in 2015 and we still debating minimum wage of 18k

Should we even be debating this?? You’re paying 9k minimum wage in 2015 when rice was 5k and dollar to naira was 190naira and fuel was around 100naira but you’re finding it hard to increase the minimum wage or increae worker’s salary even when everything has increased exponentially.

Based on the inflation level rice being 5k when minimum wage was 9k, now that rice is 33k, I believe minimum wage should be around 50k or 60k and this shouldn’t even be up for DEBATE at all.

At this rate, workers in Nigeria will keep working on the same salary till they die while the good and items they’re working had to get will keep becoming unaffordable, so what is now the essence of working?

Kwara is missing

Nigeria politicians are very wicked.

No south-south and south west states on the list, am so surprise the Kogi state governor campaigning for the office of the President cannot pay minimum wage.

Let's see who will be first to try to get their names off the list.

gu075:
This is bad for governing

Anambra- South East
Imo- South East
Zamfara- North West
Benue- North Central
Kano- North West
Kogi - North Central

But they have millions to pay their SSA and political associates including thugs who help them to intimidate opposition.

And Bello want to contest for president with his terrible form, kano can not pay minimum wage but are this destroying alcohol that gives the revenue hmmm

Whoever has those EFCC tags they put on Yahoo boys should put it on each of those governors.

Crime: Suspected Minimum wage thief

and 1 stupiiid youth want to be Nigeria president

A bunch if greedy folks

Greedy set of bastards. The other one from Kogi even wants to contest for presidency. Idiot!

Even yeye Bello can't pay

clueless people everywhere.

The war is class struggle not tribal sentiments.

Why hasn't this thread entered its second page?

Is it because is not about Buhari or because Anambra and imo are in the list?

After they campaign with watery promises only for them to get into office and manifest their true selves. Wicked hypocrite governors.

They don't have to be as rich as Lagos or Akwa Ibom to pay. If states like Ebonyi, Kwara and Osun that are not that financially buoyant in terms of federal allocation and IGR can pay, then the likes of Anambra and Imo have no excuses please. It's about getting their priorities right.
