MINIMUM WAGE IMPLEMENTATION: LABOUR TO REVIEW STATE’S COMPLIANCE

The Organised labour SAYS it would soon take a

decision on a date it would meet to review the 

minimum wage negotiation between state government

and workers across Nigeria.

you will recall that no fewer than 15 states had 

yet to conclude negotiations on the new minimum 

wage of N30,000 two days after the deadline of

December 31, 2019, which labour gave governors

to sign agreements with their workers.

Investigations had also shown that Ekiti, Cross River, 

Benue, Gombe, Osun, Sokoto, Oyo, Niger, Ogun, Enugu, 

Bayelsa, Rivers, Kwara, Taraba and Anambra states 

had not agreed on consequential adjustments of 

salaries.

It was also gathered that while Lagos, Kaduna, Bauchi,

Kastina and Borno states had agreed to pay the new 

minimum wage, other states started negotiations 

few days to the end of the deadline.

The new wage structure was signed into law by President

Muhammadu Buhari, on April 18, 2019, while both the

Federal Government and the organised labour agreed on 

consequential adjustments on October 18, 2019, after a 

lengthy negotiation.
