Governors not opposed to new minimum wage, says Gov Sule

Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has debunked claims that state governors are not cooperating with the federal government on the issue of a new minimum wage for workers.There have been concerns in some quarters over the ability of many states to agree to and be able to pay the new minimum wage to be proposed by the Tripartite Committee on Minimum Wage.

While he explained that governors have not disagreed on matters around plans to review workers’ pay, he explained that a committee established by the federal government is working on the minimum wage, and governors are waiting for the outcome. “You may find one or two states make certain statements, which is okay and perfectly in line. Minimum is minimum, when they say minimum wage, it doesn’t mean that somebody cannot be higher than that, dependent on your own cash flow and dependent on your own position. So, I think that’s the position”, Sule said.

“We now constructed a major road in the area and the federal government also constructed the major road that comes all the way from Benue into Nasarawa state, which most of the transporters from the eastern part of the country are actually using at the moment.
