The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, and Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, have arrived on the Nigeria Governors’ Discussion board Head Workplace in Abuja for the group’s assembly.
Below the management of Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq, the NGF is anticipated to debate points, together with the brand new minimal wage and native authorities autonomy, amongst others.
The governors had beforehand rejected the Federal Authorities’s proposal of N62,000, stating that some states would wish to borrow to pay salaries.
Regardless of this, organised labour continues to demand a minimal wage of N250,000.
The governors selected to carry an emergency assembly after the Federal Govt Council postponed the minimal wage dialogue on Tuesday to permit President Bola Tinubu to conduct broader consultations.
In the meantime, the Federal Authorities’s case on the Supreme Courtroom towards the 36 state governors, which seeks to implement full autonomy for native governments, continues to be pending.
