States Should Determine Own Minimum Wage – Katsina Gov

Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has advocated for states to determine their minimum wage based on a minimum standard set by the Federal Government.

He made this statement on Channels Television’s Politics Today, citing differences in challenges and revenue generation between states.

Governor Radda suggested that sub-nationals should come up with their own standards for increments in the minimum wage, which their economies can afford. He emphasized that some states are still struggling to pay the current N30,000 minimum wage.

The labour unions, Nigerian Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress, had proposed a N615,000 minimum wage to the tripartite committee set up by the Federal Government. However, the government announced a 25 and 35 per cent wage award for workers, which the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, described as “mischievous.”

Governor Radda’s statement implies that states should have the flexibility to determine their own minimum wage based on their unique economic conditions, rather than adhering to a uniform national minimum wage.
