The Lagos state Governor while addressing workers during Tuesday's May Day celebration, said:
Today I will like to assert that our
government will not be stampeded into paying any wage we are not part
of negotiating and which the fund to pay them is not provided for and
given to us. I recognise that Item 34 of the Exclusive Legislative List
gives the Federal Government the power to make legislation for a
minimum wage. That is where the power ends. We have complied with the
minimum wage since January 2011 long before it was signed into law. We
should be left to decide what more we can afford to pay over the
minimum to any cadre of worker.”
