How governors can pay minimum wage vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
WITH the signing into law of the National Minimum Wage Bill by President Muhammadu Buhari, the nation is likely to be challenged by a lot of industrial hiccups, especially at the state and private sector levels. The Federal Government, with the lion’s share of the national revenue formula and flexible ways and means at its disposal, can cope better.
The pre-May Day Rally held at Abuja on Monday, April 29, 2019 by the movement had a very graphic theme bespeaking of the shape of things to come: “March for Jobs, Labour Rights and Shared Prosperity.” We can start by seriously reducing the sizes of government, from the cabinets to the Chief Executives’ aides. Where necessary, the sizes of the Civil Services might have to be realistically adjusted for efficient service delivery. The President and Governors must cut down on their attitudes of callously dipping their hands into the treasuries and spending lavishly to maintain their imperial lifestyles.
With massive devolution of powers to the various federating units, governors will be left with no choice but to explore the rich potentials of their states and tailor their spending to their financial abilities.
