Governors from across the 36 states in Nigeria have said that a minimum wage higher than N70,000 is not affordable or sustainable for the states.The governors made the remarks when they met under the Nigeria Governors' Forum , to discuss the economic situation and the ongoing debate around the minimum wage.
According to sources at the meeting, the governors are in agreement that a minimum wage of N100,000 is not feasible, and some states are still struggling to pay the current minimum wage of N30,000, which came into effect in 2019. “Records available to us indicated that some states are still paying N18,000 because they are unable to afford N30,000 . Only a state has adopted a N70,000 wage,” the source said.
