Governors Reject N60,000 Minimum Wage, “Too High,” They Say

Katsina state government

Amid rising economic pressures, state leaders argue that such an increase would cripple their budgets and impede developmental projects.

This decision sets the stage for a potential showdown with labor unions, who have been fervently advocating for wage hikes to combat inflation and the rising cost of living.
