Why Are The Governors Silent About The New Minimum Wage? by helinues: 7:20pm On Jun 06
To increase the minimum wage is not the big deal but to pay on time without delaying is the important things.

Even though some few states have started paying N70k still reasonable of the state governors are yet to speak out about their takes in the new proposed minimum wage.

Whichever amount FG, Labour union and Private sectors would arrive at , states must this time make sure they pay on time without delaying

The Labour Law should penalise Any Governor who doesn't pay simple.

Wouldn't it be better if states can have general minimum wage different from FG, same as private sectors.

Those in the private sectors would also struggle with whatever the new minimum wage.

Inflation would be inevitable, but to what extent is what government should start preparing for ahead

No, if the power to determine or fix minimum wage is put in the hands of private sector or state government there would be problem, since Governors collect increased allocation any state that doesn't pay should have reduced allocation

My issue with the new minimum wage are the state governors. We have not been taking time to check balanced their behaviors most especially when it comes to paying salaries on time.

Some of them would deliberately fixed like 6 months workers salary into their private account, the interest in millions

How?

What is the essence of setting a general minimum wage that both states and Private sectors would be struggling to pay.

True, Organized Labour need to channel their energy at the various state government because the state Labour execs are afraid to confront their state governors

Am I still the same giving excuses for some states that are still paying N18k as minimum wage.

Let's face the reality, if most of them are really interested about the new minimum wage increase, they supposed to have been speaking out in support

One of the problems we have in Nigeria is the masses expected the government to play their roles in developing the country while the same masses are not just interested in making their own contributions.

When you check almost all sectors in Nigeria, then you would realise the extent of rots. Are they politicians? Are they government?

If we can't make our local government to be functioning like Mayor position, then it should be scrapped. Bukele of Venezuela started as Major
