Govs don’t have problems with new minimum wage — Sule

Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa state, has dismissed the insinuation that state governors are not cooperating with the federal government on the issue.

The lifespan of the old Minimum Wage of N30,000 expired on April 18, 2024 and it was expected that by now a new minimum wage should be in place. Fielding question on the allegation that some state governors have not been paying the N30,000 minimum wage and that some of them are not in tune with the organised labour on the proposed N615,000, the governor said he was not aware of any state not paying the old minimum wage rate, adding that Nasarawa has been paying the N30,000 minimum wage since 2019 and has also implemented promotions, gratuities, and other benefits for workers.

“We are waiting for the outcome of that committee and that committee is not just looking at federal government, it’s looking at the state government and organized private sector. So by the time they provide, we don’t want to jump the gun and that’s why we continue to do that. Governor Sule highlighted the state’s achievements in agriculture, including being number one in sesame farming, number two in yam and cassava production, and number five in rice production nationwide. He encouraged skeptics to verify these facts for themselves.

“Nasarawa State is always considered as one of the safest states to do agriculture and others things. Now, coming back to the agriculture that you have mentioned, since the past two to three years, Nasarawa State has been leading in so many areas of agriculture.
