Nigerian Governors Meet Over Insecurity, New Minimum Wage
The Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) on Wednesday met in Abuja to discuss issues of minimum wage, insecurity and other matters affecting 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 the discussion on the issue of insecurity, especially the killings in Jos.
The governors also met 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 that was discussed was the face up between the executive and legislative arms of government.
