The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Ayuba Wabba, has said that about 10 states have concluded negotiations with workers on consequential adjustments and ready to implement the N30, 000 national minimum wage.
Workers in Lagos, Kano, and Kaduna, along with those at the Federal level, have already started enjoying the new minimum wage.
According to Wabba, states that have concluded discussions on consequential adjustments include Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Lagos, and Ebonyi.
The NLC President said the 10 states met the December 31, 2019, deadline set by organised labour.
It could be recalled that the organised labour had on December 11, 2019, at a meeting with its state chairmen in Abuja, set December 31 of the same year for all state governors to conclude negotiations with workers in their states following an agreement with the Federal Government on October 18, 2019.
