Same Minimum Wage Across States Not Practicable by divinelove(op): 8:58am On Nov 04, 2018
Yes it is not logical for NLC to expect every state in Nigeria to pay same minimum wage. For some states like Kogi, osun, ekiti etc 22.5k is good enough while states like Lagos, Enugu, Kano, Rivers, Akwa ibom etc can pay 35k or more.

This will create healthy competition among states that is good for over all development of the country.

NLC should look at the income, assets and liabilities of each state and determine the appropriate minimum wage for the state. Same should apply to FG workers.

Let's discuss and have your views on this
