Appeals have gone to the Federal Government to compel state governors owing the National Minimum Wage to implement it without further delay.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Mr Ayuba Wabba, made the appeal at the ongoing 110 Session of the International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, on Saturday.

The NLC boss spoke while giving an update on issues affecting the Nigerian workers to the ILO Committee on Experts, on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations.

According to him, four states out of the 36 have yet to commence or implement the National Minimum Wage since 2019 when the Federal Government began implementation of the wage in the country.

He noted that the minimum wage is a law and a convention which the Nigeria government has ratified.

“In 2019, the minimum wage was enacted, but as I speak, four states have not implemented it and they are Taraba, Zamfara, Cross River and Abia.

“They have not commenced the implementation of the minimum wage and this is an infraction on the law.
