JUST IN: 36 Nigerian governors to hold emergency meeting today over minimum wage
The 36 state governors of Nigeria have scheduled an emergency meeting today to discuss and find common ground on the contentious issue of the proposed new minimum wage, which has been a subject of debate between the federal government, states, and organized labour.
According to Halima Ahmed, Acting Director on Media and Public Affairs of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), the governors will meet at 7 pm today in Abuja to discuss the matter and potentially find a way forward.
The meeting follows the Federal Executive Council’s (FEC) decision to postpone deliberations on the minimum wage memo on Tuesday.
