Governors meet over minimum wage
The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) on Wednesday
night met in Abuja to discuss issues of minimum wage, insecurity and other
matters of interests for the development of the country.
While the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is
proposing a minimum wage of N65,000 for workers, the governors have been
insisting on the staggering of the implementation of the new wage, if
approved.
Also on the meeting agenda was discussion on the
issue of insecurity, especially the killings in Jos.
The governors were also expected to meet with the
Postmaster-General of the Nigerian Postal Service and the Attorneys General
from 36 states of the federation on the contentious issue of Stamp duty.
Part of the agenda was to discuss the face up between
the executive and legislative arms of government.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) expected to make representation on the actual oil revenue
generation and remittance from the corporation, did not come.
The Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) was
also expected to make presentation to the governors
