Akpabio Says State Governments Have Capacity to Pay the Proposed New National Wage
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has said the state governments have the financial capacity to pay the proposed National Minimum Wage, when it is eventually passed into law.
He, however, noted that the wage would only affect eight percent of Nigerian population, while workers in the private sector would bear the brunt of the projected inflation that the new wage would triggers.
Akpabio stated this on Monday at a retreat organized by the National Institute of Legislative and Democratic Studies in Abuja.
The state governments had said they could not pay up to N60,000 monthly minimum wage, otherwise, most of them would go into bankruptcy if forced to do so.
But, Akpabio said the state governments are now receiving more revenue due to the petrol subsidy removal, therefore should not give any excuse in executing the proposed new wage.

The Senate President who noted that some state governments failed to pay the expired national minimum wage, said they have to implement the new one after it was passed by the National Assembly.
Abass, who was represented by the Chairman, House Committee on Labour and Productivity, Adegboyega Adefarati, identified poor remuneration as one of the main causes of corruption in the country.
Poorly paid workers are highly susceptible to corrupt inducements and pressures, he said.
He pledged that the 10th National Assembly had firmly resolved to see to the expeditious resolution of the new minimum wage matter as soon as possible.
Abass said, We will do our best to give it (minimum wage bill), expeditious hearing and passage whenever we receive the proposal from the executive.
The retreat, according to the Director General of NILDS, Professor Abubakar Sulaiman, was organised for the chairmen and members of the National Assembly committees on employment, labour and productivity in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Sulaiman also said stakeholders drawn from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC); the Trade Union Congress (TUC); the Nigerian Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA), and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) were part of the event.
