Other states are Plateau, Kebbi, Sokoto, Nasarawa, Bayelsa, Delta, Ekiti, Zamfara, Benue, Enugu, Taraba, Gombe, Kogi, Enugu, and Adamawa.

The rest include Niger, Anambra, Imo, Ebonyi, Oyo, Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Katsina, Kaduna, Cross River, and Yobe.

OSUN DEFENDER learnt that only seven states – Kano, Kwara, Ogun, Borno, Jigawa, Ondo, and Abia have set up implementation committees. But only Lagos and Edo claimed to have started paying the minimum wage.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu signed the new minimum wage into law on July 29, 2024, after meeting with leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria.

But the spokesperson for the Osun State Governor, Rasheed Olawale, in an interview recently said a committee for the implementation of the minimum wage would be set up next week.

“Mr Governor has before now said Osun will pay the minimum wage as he is committed to the welfare of the workers and the people generally.

“A committee on the implementation of the minimum wage will be set up next week. We are committed to it,” he stated.
