NGF Calls For Emergency Meeting Over Minimum Wage
Nigerian governors under the auspices of the Nigeria Governors Forum have called for an emergency meeting over minimum wage.
The meeting according to reports is expected to hold in Abuja tonight.
It is expected that the meeting, which will be presided over by the Governor of Zamfara State, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari, will take a definite stand on the amount the governors will be able to pay as minimum wage to avert a strike by the organised labour.
Earlier in the day, labour had warned the government not to propose anything less than the N30,000 they initially agreed on, otherwise the industrial action that was previously planned will take effect.
