State governors can’t determine minimum wage – NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has described state governors’ desire to determine their state’s minimum wage as divisive and capable of deepening poverty in the country.

It said the notion was dictatorial and undermined the essence and model of creating a national minimum wage in Nigeria.

It urged President Bola Tinubu, who had promised the workers a living wage, not to allow himself to be blackmailed or boxed into a corner by the “unpatriotic governors.”
