Minimum Wage : If resources are there, workers deserve it – Ortom vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
But the governor said that he was constrained by scarce resources and that he was blocking all financial loopholes to ensure that the state meets up with its financial responsibility.
Reacting to reports indicating that his state was among 17 states that were insolvent as their Internally Generated Revenues in 2018 were far below 10 per cent of their receipts from the Federation Account Allocations in the same year, he said that his government was looking inwards to generate funds.
The governor said with the enforcement of the law, there was relative peace regarding the herdsmen/farmers crisis in the Benue, adding that a total of 400 people have been arrested for violating the law out of which, 50 of them have been convicted. ”Once you cattle is seized for open grazing by the livestock guard, within seven days when your cattle is quarantined if you don’t come to pay fines and redeem your cattle we auction them. So far, everyone that we have arrested people have come to redeemed and so we have not had any cause to auction any cattle.”
