Governors or deputy governors from Nigeria’s 36 states have assembled in Abuja for a crucial meeting under the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF).
The forum is expected to discuss President Bola Tinubu’s recent approval of a N70,000 minimum wage. The meeting, held at the NGF secretariat, will focus on the governors’ response to this new policy and its potential impact on their states.
Alongside the minimum wage discussion, the NGF meeting is expected to address two contentious issues: the proposed nationwide protest against bad governance and the recent Supreme Court’s ruling on local government autonomy.
As the forum’s first public session since the minimum wage announcement, this meeting presents a crucial opportunity for governors to engage in meaningful discussions, forge a collective response to these challenges, and outline a path forward for effective governance.
