The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has urged state house Assembly across Nigerian states to approve the new minimum wage.
The organized labor also noted that it was criminal for any state governor not pay the new minimum wage.
The General-Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Mr Emmanuel Ugboaja, disclosed this on Sunday during a press interactive session in Lagos.
Ugboaja stressed that any Governor who refused to pay the new minimum wage should be impeached, adding that, such governor had no business running a state.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that the Nigeria Governors’ Forum has said that state governors will pay according to individual capacity of states.

Ugboaja said “It is criminal to say you cannot pay the new minimum wage.
“Some of these leaders ride in private jet, so they can pay.”
The organized labor also revealed that it was in support of the return of the Labour Advisory Council, which would help to mediate between government and workers.
NLC urged the Federal Government to take actions against employers who would not pay the new wage.
