The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, has pleaded with all APC state governors to implement the N30, 000 minimum wage and the consequential adjustments.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that Oshiomhole made the plea on Monday, in Jos, at the Federal Government-Progressives Governors\u2019 Forum parley in Jos.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs progressives, let us be the first to pay the new national minimum wage, and not just the wage but also the consequential adjustments arising from it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlready, there are some proactive progressive governors that have taken steps to address this.<\/p>\n

\u201cI plead that you give this a priority because when other governors are fighting whether or not to pay, you will say that progressive governors have paid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere there is will, there will certainly be a way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The APC national chairman also called on the APC governors to support border closure by the Federal Government.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that the nation\u2019s borders should remain closed until neighbouring countries follow the protocols of fair trade.<\/p>\n

Oshiomole in an interview with newsmen, also lends his support to financial autonomy for local governments in the country.<\/p>\n

He said that local government autonomy was not negotiable.<\/p>\n

According to him, just as the Federal Government does not control state governor on how to manage his money, so should the state governors allow the local governments to function.<\/p>\n

He added that local governments should be allowed to operate the same way states operate with the Federal Government exercising oversight function.<\/p>\n
