This is the first public meeting held since the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage concluded their negotiations.

Governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) are holding a meeting at the forum’s secretariat in Abuja.

The meeting, it was gathered, was convened on matters bordering on the new national minimum wage, local government autonomy and NGCares disbursement to states.

Some governors in attendance include Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), and Charles Soludo (Anambra) among others. The deputy governors of Borno and Delta State are also physically present.

This meeting of the governor’s forum is the first public meeting that the forum is holding after the tripartite committee on the new national minimum wage concluded their negotiations two weeks ago.
