Kano, Zamfara, Kwara, Rivers, Kogi, Edo ready to pay N30,000 minimum wage - The Nation Newspaper

The governments of Kano, Zamfara, Kwara, Rivers, Kogi and Edo States have agreed to pay the new minimum wage of N30,000.

Yari who spoke through his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Publicity and Public Enlightenment, Malam Ibrahim Dosara said that any state government with the interest of workers at heart will ensure the quick implementation of the new minimum wage.The Chief Press Secretary to the state governor, Mr. Adesina Adeniyi, in a telephone chat, said since it is already a law the state will only wait for the implementation guidelines of the minimum wage.

Akorede recalled how the state government set up a committee headed by the Head of Service Modupe Susan to work out the modalities and sources of revenue for payment months before the president signed the new into law.A similar committee was set up by the Kogi State government and the government says “laws are made to be obeyed and we are sure the Federal Government will make it convenient for states to pay the new minimum wage.

“Governor Sani Bello, early this year, had assured the state work force of the new minimum wage at a special session he had with organised labour recently. He is committed to ensuring the welfare of the state work force.” “In my opinion, media outfits should be interested in the private sector. How many companies can afford the new minimum wage as the law also binds them,” he said, and expressed fears that the new law might force many in the organised private sector to lay off workers which may be detrimental to the economy.

We are waiting

Thank you baba ganduje and others that are ready to workers

Kogi!!! How market

I pray they should keep their promise.

Kogi state has not been able to successfully pay the 18,000 current minimum wage, Gov Bello is committing to pay 30,000 - trust me, this will surely not be fulfilled. Empty promises for 2nd term

I'm very happy about what governor ganduje seen on salary we are proud of him.

Nagode Ganduje gandun aiki

Kogi is fake

easely said than done

Exclude Zamfara from the list. That can only be possible when Yari handed over

Kogi that can not even pay salaries is talking of minimum wage, make that Gov no deceive una

Governors promising to pay the new minimum wage should note that workers and organized labor are keenly watching being a different era entirely!

Kogi? When they haven't paid huge arrears

Where is Akwa Ibom state?

Lagos State has not spoken

Remove Kogi from this list.

Kogi wey never pay 18k? 🙄🙄

Bello own na wash wash ooo

Where is Lagos on the list... Don't look for my trouble ooo😕

Kogi? 😂😂😂😂

What of Katsina ?

Well done

Doubt on KOGI readiness to pay 30k minimum wage.

Kogi? Smh. Scam

Where is Ogun State standing, to pay or not to pay? DapoA

I doubt my Zamfara will do that unless YARI is no more

In d case of zamfara ---------

May Almighty hope so

Hmmm. Even kogi? Pls try and pay ur outstanding before d new minimum wage

Rivers state that's owing pensioners for years, just got my salary slashed by 25% while been owed for 14months.

Pls which of the Kogi are we seen here It can't be Kogi of Yaya-Bello that can't afford 18k

Hahaha... kogi that's owing months of outstanding salaries.

Lolz kogi, kogi that is still finding it very difficult to pay 18k minimum wage, or is there another kogi I don't know of

Kogi, no very doubtful

Kogi can't pay it..

Lol kogi and zamfara

Even Kogi State? They have been paying less than 30% of the NGN18000 minimum wage for 2yrs now.

Make una de deceive u a self mumu fools

Yeah they are ready now after 3months they will apply for bailout funds again

What about Kaduna?

Remove Kogi state from this minimum wage issue, except you want Yahaya Bello never to pay salaries till he leaves office.

What of Plateau State

In case of zamfara state the gov't is lying because even the former minimum wage of 18000 are not implemented.

Which Kogi? Is it same Kogi that pay percentage salaries to its workers?
