Read Obiano statement. He held off implement new wage waiting for new FG minimum wage. Why states like Anambra didn't comply with 18k minimum wage is because they couldn't afford it. The federal government lazy about enforcing laws.
Setting Minimum wage is constutionally constitutionally in exclusive list federal government. I don't know where your pulling your baseless claims about separation of powers.
Yes states can pay over minimum wage. It's called minimum wage for a reason. Obvious point. is obvious

Anambra to pay new minimum wage in July
By Dom Ekpunobi, Onitsha | 27 March 2018 | 3:10 am

Willie Obiano

Anambra State workers would from July this year begin to earn a new minimum wage.
The Commissioner for Information, Mr. C-Don Adinuba, who announced this during his first post exco press briefing at the Government House, Awka, said that although the minimum wage would have taken off in April, the state had to wait for the Federal Government pronouncement on the issue, so it would not work against the laws of the nation.

He also announced that Anambra is set to launch a 50-year development plan for a sustainable development of the state.

The Commissioner said a committee to handle the take off and running of the development plan would be inaugurated within the next two weeks.

He said the state would witness faster growth and asked for the cooperation of all and sundry in order to enable Governor Willie Obiano realise his development goal in the state.

He said although the governor achieved a lot in his first tenure, he has plans to make Anambra the most competitive state in the country.

Adinuba said that the secretariat in Awka would soon wear a new look, while two bridges would be constructed at the Regina Ciely Junction in Awka and at Orumbanasa area of the state adding that the Orumbanasa bridge would be a military bridge.

The state government, he said, had also decided to dualise the Awka road in Onitsha and warned that street trading in Onitsha would no longer be tolerated.

He said the local council election was stalled by litigation pending in the court adding that as soon as they were discharged , the election would be conducted.

Stop twisting fact this envious bitter demon. Stop mastur.bating over Anambra matter while your state is going down the drain. Anambra pays over 18k presently. If Anambra wasn't paying 18k presently why is the NLC begging the gov to upgrade to 50k minimum wage?

Stop distorting facts. Anambra shall be the first state to implement the new federal government minimum wage. Stop being a bitter man.

2)

please reconcile the two statements of yours with you r arguments becos you are saying two different things that are separate.
The first quote shows that state can decide not to comply despite it being on exclusive list(Separation of power)
Second quote, state can pay over but not below minimum, so why didn't the so called FG force them to pay.
l still maintain my stand that the afternoon sun is having a damaging effects on your skull

Hehehehehehehe

Your aim of ridiculing Anambra has been bursted. Stop crying over nothing. See a report as at 2015. Read what the NLC chairman said.

[s][/s]

The governor had in his address told the workers “I won’t promise you what I cannot do”.

He reminded them that his administration had increased their salaries by 15 percent in 2015.

His address read in part, “I wish to restate my earlier promise that I will increase your salaries once I see a significant growth in my Internally Generated Revenue; once we are able to push it to N2.3bn per month. Now we have an average IGR of about N1.4 billion

Anambra workers demand full implementation: In Anambra State, immediate past government of Peter Obi, instead of implementing the N18.000 minimum wage, just added N10,000 and just recently, the incumbent governor merely effected a15 percent increment to the workers’ salaries which still fell short of the N18.000 minimum wage.
