Governors of Nigeria’s 36 states have scheduled an emergency meeting for today, Wednesday, to discuss the proposed new minimum wage.
This comes just a few hours after the Federal Executive Council, or FEC, voted to withdraw the minimum wage directive on Tuesday.
It should be recalled that the 36 governors previously rejected the federal government’s suggested N62,000, claiming that if the figure is enforced, some states may be forced to borrow money.
However, the organised labour is still insisting on N250,000 wage.
According to Daily Trust, the Acting Director on Media and Public Affairs of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, Halima Ahmed, disclosed that the governors would meet in Abuja by 7 pm today, Wednesday, over the matter.
