Governor of Zamfara state, Bello Matawalle has intimidated that the state government under his leadership can not pay the new minimum wage.<\/p>\n

According to the state governor, his administration\u00a0is currently grappling with monthly deductions for debt servicing inherited from the past administration, payment of salaries and running of the government.<\/p>\n

This disclosure was made by the governor on Friday when he hosted\u00a0executive members of the 36 labour unions under the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to the breaking of the Ramadan fast at his Gusau residence.<\/p>\n

Recall that the\u00a0new minimum wage bill was signed into law in April 2019 by President Muhammadu Buhari. The law stipulates an increase from N18,500 to N30,000 as minimum wage in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Matawalle said Zamfara, which is one of the least collectors of monthly federal allocation<\/a> has over \u20a61.6 billion deducted from source to service the debts it inherited from the past administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery month, the state is left with between \u20a61.8 billion and \u20a61.3 billion to pay salaries to its over 28,000 workers as well as to execute government\u2019s activities.\u201d<\/p>\n

He, however, said, he would implement the new minimum wage as soon as there is an improvement and called for more understanding from the workers.<\/p>\n

The governor also urged the workers to start their own businesses which they can fall back on after retirement.<\/p>\n

\u201cl can assure you that if you start your own business, you will gain experience and be well established before you retire,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state government will register and issue certificates on all public and private landed properties which can be used to secure bank loans for interested workers with the backing of the government.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
