FLASH: FG Sends Message To State Governors Over 70K Minimum Wage 

The federal government has called on state governments yet to comply with the new National Minimum Wage Act and commence payment of the new N70,000 minimum wage to do so.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, made this appeal on Monday after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu, applauding the states that have commenced paying workers the new minimum wage.

Akume said the issue of the new minimum wage had always been central to the thinking of the government of President Bola Tinubu, which was why he quickly put in place a tripartite arrangement to look at all the issues.

He added that the Federal Government and the governors were represented, stating that the organized private sector was also part of the arrangement to arrive at the new minimum wage.

“We are very satisfied with it. And, some state governments have started implementing it. Others have even gone beyond N70,000. So I believe that there’s no problem with that whatsoever.

“We applaud those who have started, and those who have not started, we just want to appeal to them to start the payment,” he stated.
