Wabba alway looking confuse. What has he done in respect to KOGI civil that are been owed several months of salary or states that are not even paying the old minimum wage?
Beside that look at EKITI Government talking abt calling NLC to set modalities on how to pay the minimum wage - then one tend to ask how long will that take?
Why didn't they set that up many months ago bearing in mind that one day the bill will be sign into law.
Nigeria my country.
