New Minimum wage likely to push states into bankruptcy — NGF
As the nation awaits the new minimum wage promised to be sent to the National Assembly by President Bola Tinubu, the burden of implementing the minimum wage may make many states bankrupt.
The Federal Executive Council, at its meeting last Tuesday, stepped down a memorandum on the report of the tripartite committee on the new minimum wage, to allow for more consultations among the federal and state governments on one part, the private sector and the labour unions on the other part.
Last Thursday, Tinubu met with the governors at the National Economic Council meeting chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima. The meeting, which was expected to deliberate on the national minimum wage, was, however, silent on whether or not it considered the issue.
Also last Thursday, the Southern Governors’ Forum released the communiqué of its meeting held in Abeokuta, Ogun State, with the governors asking that each state should negotiate minimum wage with its workforce.
The labour unions have, however, reacted to the stance of the Ni¬geria Governors’ Forum over their overbearing influence on the minimum wage negotia¬tions.
In a document, titled, “Analysis of State FAAC inflows and state expenditure profile,” of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum Secretariat, the NGF report warned that implementing the new minimum wage could push states into bankruptcy due to increased recurrent expenditure.

According to the report, the burden of recurrent expenditure already left Abia, Ekiti, Gombe, Imo, Katsina, Kogi, Oyo, Plateau, Sokoto, Yobe, and Zamfara in deficit in 2022.
The report predicted that if the recurrent expenditure increased by 50 per cent, 13 states would fall into deficit, with only 10 remaining financially stable.
The tripartite committee’s recommendation of a N62,000 minimum wage would necessitate over a 100 per cent increase from the current N30,000, potentially leaving only a few states like Anambra, Bayelsa, Borno, Ebonyi, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Lagos, and Rivers with positive net revenues, based on the 2022 fiscal data.
A net revenue is the deduction of recurrent expenditure from the total revenue of the state. When it is positive, it means a surplus, but when negative, there is a deficit.
Also, the total revenue of states is calculated from the monthly revenue from the Federal Account Allocation Committee, internally generated revenue, aids and grants and constituency development funds.
According to the documents, sighted, Abia, with an employment size of about 58,631 workers, pays N5,837,899,980.40 as wage monthly. Anambra has a 20,541 employment size and pays N1,824,851,308.96 monthly as wages, apart from N894,480,399.62 as pension obligation and N579,694,680.33 for debt servicing.
Bayelsa boasts of 48,213 workforce, paying N5,802,435,178.58 monthly, with N1,194,528,784.40 as pension obligation and N3,535,787,992.48 as debt servicing, totalling N10,532,751,955.46 as total recurrent expenditure monthly.
Benue has about 13,366 workers in its workforce and pays N2,040,184,471.85 as monthly wage, N76,838,634.62 for pension, and N64,685,126,826.08 for debt servicing, totalling N66,802,149,932.56 monthly.
Delta has about 50,871 workers, offering N8,973,081,853.50 as wages, N1,499,886,303.39 as pension, and N72,417,433,139.00 as debt servicing, accumulating to N82,890,401,295.89 in a month.
Jigawa has about 44,831 workers in its employ and pays N2,795,662,113.02 as wages, and N345,987,843.12 as a pension, totalling N3,141,649,956.14 monthly on recurrent expenditure.
Katsina, Kwara and Niger have 19,062, 36,048 and 22,225 workers, with accumulated N139,294,944,565.27, N4,457,268,675.54 and N2,653,614,213.35 monthly recurrent expenditure respectively.
According to the document, Abia has a total recurrent expenditure of N111,983,979,958.62, against a total revenue of N147,637,730,867.73.
For Adamawa, the recurrent expenditure stands at N70,369,399,885.57, against a total revenue of N109,722,949,684.65, while Akwa Ibom boasts of a high revenue of N444,288,683,000, with recurrent expenditure of N235,144,539,000.
Of the states, Lagos has the highest total revenue, amassing N1,243,778,878,170 in 2022, with a recurrent expenditure of N621,043,036,000, followed by Delta, with N702,020,717,460.08 and a recurrent expenditure of N377,905,100,451.83.
Rivers amassed N525,588,159,714.88 in 2022, with recurrent expenditure of N186,974,715,774.87; Kaduna had a total revenue of N222,349,875,000 and expenditure of N95,987,999,472.10; Ogun, N297,249,009,626.83, recurrent expenditure of N178,519,010,628.42 and Oyo, with total revenue of N247,156,776,739.70 and recurrent expenditure of N152,077,804,384.65.
Kebbi State had the lowest total revenue in 2022, raking in N92,132,444,588.16 and spent N57,601,464,374.96 on recurrent expenditure, followed by Taraba, with a total revenue of N101,177,283,069.87 and recurrent expenditure of N75,055,201,412.62.
Aside from FAAC allocation, some states recorded poor IGR in the 2022 data compiled by the NGF Secretariat.
Zamfara State generated N6,513,960,477.20; followed by Kebbi, with N8,630,767,122.96; Taraba, N9,744,331,840.01 and Yobe State, with N9,940,554,642.00.
The IGR of Katsina (N12,821,119,042.64), Adamawa (N13,175,774,969.53), Niger (N14,427,373,136.00), Benue (N15,021,223,729.38), Plateau (N15,927,001,739.90) and Imo (N16,711,346,111.18) also showed a poor revenue standing.
Newsmen reported on October 19, 2023, that 15 states have yet to implement the N30,000 minimum wage for their workers since it was signed into law in 2019.
According to BudgiT, though the 15 states were yet to implement the minimum wage of N30,000, the 36 states of the federation grew their cumulative personnel cost by 13.44 per cent to N1.75tn in 2022 from N1.54tn in 2021.
The civil society organization, in a release, ‘The States of States Report 2023,’ highlighted that the 36 states of the federation grew their revenue by 28.95 per cent from N5.12tn in 2021 to N6.6tn in 2022.
“Put together, the IGR of the 36 states appreciated by 12.98 per cent from N1.61tn in 2021 to N1.82tn in 2022, denoting a strengthened domestic revenue mobilisation capability.
“Nonetheless, the IGR to GDP ratio remained very low at 1.01 per cent. The increase in IGR did not reflect across the board as 17 states experienced a decline in their IGR from the previous year, while 19 states recorded positive growth,” BudgIT said.
The Assistant General Secretary of the NLC, Chris Onyeka, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on minimum wage and its implementation, claimed that many state governors were flouting the Minimum Wage Act and listed the states of Abia, Enugu, Bayelsa, Delta, Nasarawa, Gombe, Adamawa, Niger, Sokoto, Imo, Anambra, Taraba, Benue, and Zamfara as defaulting.
Reacting, the Enugu State chairman of TUC, Ben Asogwa, said the state commenced payment of N30,000 minimum wage and its consequential adjustment in February 2020 for state government workers, while local government workers and primary school teachers were paid 25 per cent consequential adjustment.
He, however, said Governor Peter Mbah, on assumption of office, approved the full implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage for both the LG workers and primary school teachers in the state.
Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, announced during a meeting with the leadership of the labour unions that the state would begin payment of N30,000 minimum wage effective June 2024.

Недавно столкнулся с ситуацией, когда на меня внезапно обрушился шквал клеветы и наговоров. Оказалось, что моё имя попало на какую-то скам-платформу, где публиковались лживые данные и грязные списки. Это настоящий произвол и беспредел, когда кто-то может безнаказанно подставлять людей, распространяя фейки и выдуманные санкции. Пытался разобраться, но столкнулся с полным отсутствием ответственности за такие действия. Если вам интересна эта тема, советую изучить [url=https://www.opensanctions.org/entities/NK-bCYVp4c5SxXWCmxqSKUFxo/]Лживые данные[/url] — там подробно описано, как работают подобные клеветнические базы и чёрные списки.

Wow, fantastic blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
you make blogging look easy. The overall look of your site is excellent,
as well as the content!
Having read this I thought it was rather enlightening. I appreciate you spending some time and effort
to put this short article together. I once again find myself
spending a significant amount of time both
reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
Gioco su Crazy Time live streaming diretta 24h Italia da inizio estate, per cui piu o meno so di cosa parlo. Ci sono finito per un consiglio di un tipo in chat, mica perche cercassi il sito perfetto. Quello che noti subito e il comparto live: i tavoli di Evolution attivi a qualsiasi ora, con gente reale che gira la ruota e i game show. Monopoly Live e Lightning Roulette sono quelli dove butto piu tempo, diciamo la verita.
Sul fronte slot ne hanno tante, sulle 2500 a occhio. Pragmatic c’e in abbondanza con Gates of Olympus piu Sweet Bonanza, e ci sono anche Play’n GO per Book of Dead, un po’ di NetEnt e Big Time Gaming per quelli che amano le volatilita assurde. Il filtro per provider fa il suo, pero l’interfaccia di tanto in tanto e un po’ lenta su connessione dati. Un’app vera non esiste, funziona da browser, pero a dirla tutta non ho mai sentito la mancanza.
Il pacchetto di benvenuto offerto da Crazy Time live streaming diretta 24h Italia resta nella media: il raddoppio fino a 500€ e in piu 150 giri omaggio dati un po’ per volta. Il requisito di puntata viaggia sul x35, e e accettabile ma non entusiasma ma l’ho visto peggio. Girano anche dei free spin senza deposito nel caso confermi i documenti — a me me ne sono arrivati 20. Le offerte ruotano, per cui conviene dare un occhio ai termini aggiornati direttamente su [url=https://bitcoinvideocasino.net/live/]live crazy time[/url] prima di depositare. Il minimo per iniziare 20€, iscrizione veloce con il solito caricamento documenti.
Sui pagamenti non ho avuto drammi. Carte chiaramente, poi Skrill e Neteller restano quelli che consiglio, e Bitcoin se preferisci. Il mio ultimo prelievo e arrivato in una giornata su Skrill; via bonifico aspettati due o tre giorni lavorativi. La cosa che mi ha dato piu fastidio e il controllo documenti: mi hanno rimbalzato la bolletta due volte per un dettaglio.
L’assistenza di Crazy Time live streaming diretta 24h Italia ti risponde in italiano e questo per me conta, la live chat aperta praticamente sempre. Tempi di cinque minuti nelle sere di punta, operatori che sembrano capire di cosa parli. Sulla licenza c’e licenza Curacao, per cui non parliamo di concessione italiana — dipende da te valutare se ti va bene. Per i giocatori italiani il sito tradotto e gli strumenti di pagamento sono comunque curati, pero qualche promo partono a ore scomode.
Bazzico a Crazy Time live streaming diretta 24h Italia da circa tre mesi, quindi piu o meno mi sono fatto un’idea. L’ho scoperto per caso, mica che stessi cercando qualcosa in particolare. La prima cosa che colpisce e la sezione dei croupier dal vivo: Evolution aperti giorno e notte, e ci sono gente reale che gira la ruota e i soliti game show. Lightning Roulette e Crazy Time sono quelli dove butto piu tempo, lo ammetto.
Di slot ce n’e tante, oltre 2000 se non sbaglio. Pragmatic la fa da padrone con Gates of Olympus piu Sweet Bonanza, e ci sono anche Play’n GO con Book of Dead, un po’ di NetEnt e Betsoft per quelli che amano le megaways. Il sistema di filtri fa il suo, anche se la lobby di tanto in tanto ci mette un attimo a caricare da mobile. Un’app vera non esiste, si va via browser, pero a dirla tutta va liscio comunque.
Il bonus offerto da Crazy Time live streaming diretta 24h Italia e un classico: il raddoppio fino a 500€ con 200 giri gratis spalmati su qualche giorno. Il requisito di puntata viaggia sul x35, che non e un regalo pero l’ho visto peggio. C’e anche qualche giro senza deposito quando verifichi il conto subito — a me ne ho presi 25. Le offerte ruotano, quindi tanto vale leggersi le condizioni correnti su [url=https://www.bitcoinvideocasino.net/live/]crazy time live score[/url] prima di buttarci dentro soldi. La soglia minima 15€, iscrizione veloce con SPID o documento.
Lato prelievi tutto ok. Visa e Mastercard ovviamente, oltre a Skrill piu Neteller restano i piu comodi, c’e anche crypto per chi ci smanetta. Ho cashato la settimana scorsa e arrivato in una giornata su Skrill; con bonifico ci vogliono 3-4 giorni. L’unica rogna vera e stata la procedura KYC: ho dovuto rimandare il documento senza spiegarmi bene perche.
Il supporto di Crazy Time live streaming diretta 24h Italia ti risponde in italiano cosa non scontata, chat live aperta a tutte le ore. Attese di due o tre minuti, ragazzi che sembrano capire di cosa parli. Sulla licenza dichiarano una licenza internazionale, per cui non e un ADM italiano — e una scelta personale decidere se la cosa ti pesa. Per noi in Italia la lingua e i metodi locali funzionano, pero qualche promo non sono proprio tarati su di noi.
Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
platform are you using for this website? I’m getting fed up
of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
