Northern Governors Delay Payment of N35,000 Monthly Wage Award

 Lafene said northern governors were yet to take a joint decision on the payment of the award, resulting in non -payment in all the states of the northern part of the country.

He said the Niger state Governor, Umaru Bago, at a meeting with organised labour disclosed the plan by the northern governors to take a common stand on the issue so that: “it will not be Kano paying a different amount and Jigawa paying a different amount and Niger paying a different amount which may cause confusion”.
