Trust Sanwo Olu to pay above 100k. Lagos sets the pace.

Lagos has money... This is why I don't support national wage let every state agree on what they can pay based on capacity... Ekiti can't pay 100k except there ll be mass purge of workers which ll be bad... Ebonyi abia too... Lagos Kano rivers delta have money..

Mynd44:
There can't be a law mandating anyone to do what he/she cannot physically do.

State civil services are over bloated and governors struggle to pay 30,000. Abia state can't even pay the 30,000 yet you want to make it 85,000.

When you make this law, I hope you will be ready for the drama that will follow when the governors decide to downsize the civil service

I don't know why people use to say civil servants are over bloated, go to hospital no nurse, no doctor, go to school, you will see some schools with just 5 teachers including principal

Are you from Quelme a Kingdom ruling by a stubborn king in Seme border

victorsola:
70k is for the lowest and there nobody under the federal government in that category which is level 1-3 . This means the lowest person under fg will be going home with 90-100k . And you can’t expect a person without school cert to earn like a bsc or even a phd holder . It’s not possible . A level 8 officer earns 100k currently that means with the new wage they will be earning 200k and some fractions

In most of the state, level 8 doesn't earn above 70k

It is not proper for the governors to be saying this when the FG and labour are still on the negotiating table.

It is not only FG and Labour that are negotiating. State governors and Employers of labours are also represented.

So they are correct in stating their own side of thew story

EponObi:
I pity some state civil servants sha. With the way these governors are talking, you would think most of them even fulfilled the previous #30k minimum wage agreement. Mtchew.

Some states, as we speak, still have months of salary backlog they are yet to pay.

Regional government will solve this kind of mess. The funny thing is that the state workers being owed months of salaries won't drag their governors but will still face the FG. Same with the NLC - they only strike when they have issues to iron with the FG. But in many state chapters, they remain docile while the governors continue to give it to their workers in the ass.

sometimes you make sense,but for the fact that your moniker and your signature speaks of you as a bastar..dized troll weak me

Then Tinubu should stop giving them the subsidy money

It's better labour start grounding economic activities of any state that refuses to pay the minimum wage approved, only by then criminal governors in power will prioritize paying the minimum wage because they have the money to buy SUVs with billions of naira for judges to always rule on their favours. Corrupt folks that the stup!d masses fight for during election.

God forbid me voting in any governor that can't pay its working the nothing to write home about minimum wage.

But they can subsidize religion pilgrimage. what a misplaced of priorities!

efemena5050:
God never created blacks I swear ....na Lucifer creat blacks...... imagine our level of wickedness to ourselves....even during s slave trade the blacks were used to catch their fellow black and sell them as slaves after making some of them feel their superior and they are working with the white now you can see how this governor's behave after taking bogus sums in terms of allowances they don't care about the masses

many still think whites came to steal blacks ... Forgetting it was blacks that sold blacks for profit ... And still to this day the game never changed ... Only the players. But you see the people are traumatized and their brains have been conditioned for total control ... And so even in the face of absolute injustice we remain the happiest people on earth (mumus)

There should be minimum wage categories for each state Band A, B, etc

Donaldoni:
Even when bag of rice was N8,000, some workers did/could not buy it.

Just shut up!

Ask yourself what was the minimum wage when 50kg bag of Rice was 8k?

Labour Unions shouldn't accept any amount less than 150k as minimum wage with the economic realities on ground.

• The FG and the sub-national government should set their priorities right.

• They should cut the cost of governance across board and block all the many loopholes for corruption in the system.

• They should address the issue of multiple taxation on businesses and make the business environment more conducive by addressing the pain points of many business concerns.

• The FG should look seriously at the possibility of adjusting the national revenue sharing formula in favour of the Sub-national government.

• 150k should be the irreducible minimum wage going by the economic realities on ground for any right thinking government.

Labour Unions, if it would take another indefinite strike at the end of the 5 day window you gave the government, it's in order. 150k should remain the irreducible minimum from your team.

dondo83:
Are you making any sense ? What has governors got to do with FG ? Are the 36 governors from apc alone ? Learn to be open minded and tackle what needs to be tackled . Don’t let sentiment dictate your decisions if you want to go far in life

Don't be an E-diot Sir... I read the title quite alright and I know where I am driving out with the person I quoted. Don't be too fast

badoh:
Oga, stop apportioning blame to FG every time, face your state governors that are dragging back the wheel of progress. When State government shy from their responsibilities, the next thing is to blame FG, who do you like this?

You should ask your dad that question. What wheel of progress is happening under this current administration?

Bobloco:
Edo State has already set the pace.

Kudos to Edo State 

Tinubu is still busy haggling over the minimum wage, like market women haggling over the price of crayfish.

it surely looks nice & commendable,but you should also note that his 8 years tenure will be elapsing in few months,Edo isn't the most bouyant (capacity) state in the country to quickly adopt 70k minimum wage.
its more like setting a trap for the incoming gov.

Food security is a serious issue that will affect everybody in this country soon

States and private sector are also part of the negotiation. That’s why they call it a tripartite committee.

We can have a two wage system. The minimum wage can be agreed to be 70k while Labour can agree a minimum of N100k with FG. State and private sector can pay 70k while FG pays 100k.

Many people don't know the implications of high minimum wages it will put the economy in hyper inflation, government will have little or nothing for infrastructure, education,health and other government exclusive duties....how many people are civil servant even those who are civil servant many of them are lazy,idle just sign seat and sign out let put pressure on reform not minimum wages. Let reduce government expenditure,cut salary of president,Senate,rep,chairman all political office holder and fight for good government that priorities citizen welfare not minimum 3 palaba

It's not a trap to the incoming governor from the PDP

Only the APC will describe it as a trap

Kwara State Government Is not paying ₦30k minimum wage for level 7 and above, he only add ₦10k tagged CONSEQUENTIAL ADJUSTMENT.

ONLY level 1-6 are being paid ₦30k minimum wage..

Abdul-rahmon Abdulrasak Is worst than MAIGIDA and Bukola Saraki combined

Does this include states that are currently not paying 30,000 minimum wage?

Let's shift the battle against the lawless Governors; they must allow independence of local Govt in the country .They have been wasting the resources of the local Govt for a very long time ..It is time to push for liberation

When all the governors unanimously agreed that subsidy should be removed, did they not know that there are responsibilities that are accompany the removal? The issue is simple, any governor that failed to pay should give up their sits and trow it open for any opposition party that could pay, because minimum wage is constitutional matter, and failure to abide by constitution implies that they are not worthy to be there. When our law stipulated how much to them, judges, senate and House of rep including state legislators, no governor complaint that they can pay either the themselves, the judges in their state and house members in their state, but when it comes to poor masses, then there is no money to pay. Recently, it has been observed that governor are real cabal in this country, they dictate to president, Senate and House of Rep. Because coming into office of other political office holder depend on their support in their individual states. NLC and TUC should make sure that they lead the negotiation for workers in each state, because local branches have been completely captured by the governors, if Edo is paying 70 thousand, no state can be exempted. The recent video on social media revealed that most of politicians that are rich in this country are mostly governors both past and present, we see one of them yeye bello running up and on 84 billion corruption allegation, if they don't have money, how possible that a person will eat such amount.

Allardyce:
Toh, you see the calamity government you support abi?

Whenever you can't defend the incompetent administration, you resort to typing "Toh" 😂

So you don't know the meaning of NGF. It's simply Nigeria governors forum and that means all governors agreed. Some state are still paying 18k for minimum wage. I was shocked when some civil servant protested in Abia of still receiving 18k. It is also in some state. Why blaming the FG

seunmsg:

Okay.

On another note, how do you think the minimum wage will be enforced in the private sector?

You are still single, what do you want to do with a bag of rice?

Why wouldn't they pay 100k, when the allocation they are collecting now is almost three times what they use to collect during the past administration of Buhari. They must pay o

If the government and NLC finally agree to a #70,000 minimum wage and eventually it's signed into law, has it become a trap?
