The 36 State governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF, have disclosed that they are reviewing their individual fiscal space as state governments and the consequential impact of various recommendations, geared towards arriving at what they described as an improved minimum wage they can pay sustainably.
This came as the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, gave reasons organised labour is fronting N615,000 as the new national minimum wage, saying it is being magnanimous by not raising its demands despite compelling reasons to do so.
The governors said that they celebrate with workers across the country for their dedication to service and patience, as all have worked with the Federal Government, labour, organised private sector and relevant stakeholders in arriving at an implementable national minimum wage.
