Governors of the 36 states of Nigeria have fixed an emergency meeting for today, Wednesday, over the proposed new minimum wage.
This comes a few hours after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) stepped down the memo on minimum wage on Tuesday.
Chronicle NG recalls that the 36 governors had previously rejected the federal government’s proposed N62,000, arguing that implementing the amount would force some states to borrow money.
However, organised labour is still insisting on N250,000 wage.
According to Daily Trust, the Acting Director on Media and Public Affairs of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), Halima Ahmed, disclosed that the governors would meet in Abuja by 7 p.m. today, Wednesday, over the matter.
