See the state in Nigeria that has the least minimum wage

By
Ibrahim Khaleel,National President Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has revealed that a state in Nigeria pays N6,000 as minimum wage today. He made the revelation in Abuja ahead of the union's 40th anniversary.
 Local government workers in Zamfara state are the worst paid in Nigeria as they are still earning N6,000 (less than $20) a month as minimum wage, very far from the N18,000 set as the bench mark nationally
Khaleel said Governor Abdulaziz Yari’s non-compliance with the N18,000 minimum wage, was the real reason he is obstructing the actualisation of the proposed N30,000 minimum wage.
The National President who is also the National Treasurer of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), insisted that the low-earning power of Zamfara residents was responsible for the rising insecurity in the state. The labour leader noted that as long as the workers were not well paid, there would be no peace in the state.
He also accused Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state of not fully compliant with the N18,000 wage. He said council workers in the state only get a fraction of the N18,000.
He regretted that the nation’s local government workers were the most vulnerable in the world.  He also said the local government system in the country was discriminated against. According to him, the welfare of workers in the system can only be enhanced if the local government areas are functioning well.
On local government autonomy, the union leader said only 12 states had taken their stand on the issue, with nine of them supporting autonomy for the local government while three others are voting against it.
