Senator Daniel Bwala, a former lawmaker has berated Nigerian Governors for saying the ₦60,000 minimum wage is not sustainable.
Bwala, in a post via his official X handle on Friday slammed the Govenors and question their motive for saying there would be nothing left for development of their states if they pay ₦60,000 minimum wage.
“There is no justification for Nigerian governors saying the 60,000 minimum wage is not sustainable when we are talking about upgrading to a reasonable living wage. Nigerians should better know where their problems lie.
“When governors say if they pay 60k there would be no money left for development, you wonder WHICH DEVELOPMENT HAVE THEY BEEN DOING in the first place.
“Since the increased FAAC allocation, very few governors have improved their states or the living conditions of their citizens.
“Hippopotamus federating units.”
