Nigerian Governors Forum In Abuja Discuss Issues Bordering On Insecurity, Minimum Wage, Others

While the new minimum wage issue pends, the spate of killings across the country has drawn a continuous concern among the leaders as Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) yesterday met in Abuja.

At the meeting, agenda revolved around the minimum wage, the issue of insecurity, especially the recent 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 off 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.

Naija News recalls that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is proposing a minimum wage of N65,000 for workers, but the governors have been insisting on the staggering of the implementation of the new wage, if approved.
