BEVERLY HILLS, December 14, (THEWILL) –Â President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, met behind closed doors with the 36 states governors at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The meeting, which started around 12.40p.m, was held at the Council Chamber.
THEWILL gathered that the meeting was held to discuss a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.
A presidential committee set up by the government under the leadership of a former Head of Service of the Federation, Ama Pepple, recommended that the new minimum wage should be increased from N18,000 to N30,000.
However, governors said they would not be able to pay that amount, and warned they may have to cut jobs.
The governors, who met under the aegis of Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), met Thursday night and resolved to meet with Buhari.
