President Bola Tinubu on Monday told governors to continue to pay workers in their states wage award till when negotiations on new minimum wage will be concluded.
President Tinubu stated the this when he flagged off the Food Security and Agricultural Mechanization Programme in Niger State.
“The student loan programme will commence. There will be unemployment benefits for our graduates. The social security benefits for the elderly and the vulnerable will commence. We are fine-tuning all of that area. We need to relieve our people of hunger. Let all the sub-nationals start paying wage awards, pending when the minimum wage is increased. I am not giving an order; I am only appealing. NEC should adopt this,” the President said.
