The 36 state governors in Nigeria
are going to hold an emergency meeting tonight in Abuja to deliberate on the
N30,000 Minimum Wage being demanded by the Organised Labour.
The Tripartite committee on Minimum Wage last
week submitted its report to President Muhammadu Buhari where it is believed
that the N30,000 minimum wage being demanded by labour had been granted.
Buhari had denied that he had
approved N30,000 as the new minimum wage as being speculated in the media.
However, it is expected that the
meeting, which will be presided over by the Governor of Zamfara State, Alhaji
Abdulaziz Yari, will take a definite stand on the amount the governors will be
able to pay as minimum wage to avert a strike by the organised labour.
Recently, the governors had said
they could only pay N22,500 as new minimum wage.
But some States, such as Rivers
and Edo have said they could pay the N30,000 new minimum wage.
