Zamfara State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Yari, has warned National Assembly against passing a new National Minimum Wage that would be difficult for states to pay.

Yari, who is the Chairman, Nigerian Governors Forum, issued the warning in an interview with journalists on the sidelines of the public hearing on new National Minimum Wage bill on Monday in Abuja.



Governors forum warn against passing minimum wage states cannot pay
News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN) recalls that the organised labour leaders had rejected the approved N27,000 by the national council of states, demanding N30,000 as a new minimum wage.

Reacting to the demand of organised labour, Yari said that the demand for N30,000 as the new minimum was not realistic.

30,000 is possible

The civil servants regardless of their level or duties are important part of any government agencies.

Let these Governors, prepare their budgets in such a way that it will accommodate their demands.

States allocation is big enough for any Governor to complain about N30,000.

President Buhari meant well for the civil servants. The Governors should do likewise.

Governors who cannot even pay the abysmal minimum wage of only N30,000 should let us know now so that we can elect people who can pay instead.

those useless people are the problem of this country

if you know as a governor you are bankrupt of ideas to woo investors to your state and increase your IGR. if you know you have to wait for handouts from abuja.
then you as a governor have no business occupying the seat.

look at the way they are sounding as though paying worker's salary is a privilege

if it is money for them to squander, it would not be a problem but pay the comon worker his wages, na wahala

see how they are bargaining workers salary like common crayfish

how can state governors not pay minimum wages
Re: Governors Forum Warn Against Passing Minimum Wage States Cannot Pay by Lanre4uonly(m): 9:51am On Jan 29, 2019
It's a pity this is what our country has turn out to become.
How much is #30,000 that the state government cannot afford to pay?
The inflation rate is not even making the current take home pay of many workers to fulfill its intended purposes.

Any governor who can't cut down his uneccessary spendings in order to have enough left to pay workers the 30k minimum wage or look for ways of generating money for his state should leave office.
The last time I checked, no be by force them dey take do governor.

Nonsense!
