We Would Continue To Pay N18,000 Minimum Wage- Jigawa Governor

The Governor of Jigawa State, Badaru Abubakar on Friday reassured workers in his State that he will not scrap the N18,000 minimum wages as suggested by many governors.

Mr. Badaru gave the assurance in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dutse.

He said the state government would continue to pay the N18, 000, as well as leave grants and other allowances due to the workers in spite of dwindling revenue.

“I had interaction with the workers last week. I promised to continue with the N18, 000 minimum wage. I also promised to give them what we agreed upon as leave grant, that they have not been enjoying for some time. We kept our promise this year and we intend to continue next year,’’ the governor said.
