The 36 state governors under the umbrella of Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) may adopt N70,000 as minimum wage.

At their meeting in Abuja yesterday, an inside source told the Pathfinder Newspaper that the governors kicked against minimum wage that is higher than N70,000 due to the economic situation.

They ruled out the N100,000 option being dangled by some people

The governors considered options between N60,000 offered to Labour by the Federal Government before the strike, and N70,000, which is what the Edo State Government has started paying.

The governors therefore set up a committee headed by Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma to look into what will be acceptable to all the states.
