This Day
28 March 2011
President Goodluck Jonathan last Friday signed into law the new national minimum wage bill that will pave the way for the implementation of the N18,000 monthly pay for Nigerian workers, THISDAY can report.
A top government official told the newspaper Sunday night that the new Act would allow state governments to negotiate what they could pay their workers.
The government official said President Jonathan did not want to make an "open show" of the signing which had been a subject of controversy.
There were reports that some state governors who do not want to pay the new wage were mounting pressure on the president not to sign the bill until after the April polls.
