President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had recently agreed with the organised labour to pay N70,000 as the new minimum wage.
However, there are few other States that their Governors are paying more that the new national minimum wage.
These States are;
- Rivers State – N85,000.00
- Lagos State – N85,000
- Ogun State – N77,000
- Gombe State – N71,500
- Ondo State – N73,000
- Kogi State – N72,500
It is expected that the Governors of these States will actually implement the agreed new minimum in their various States as many States in Nigeria had found it difficult to implement the previous minimum wage of N30,000.
