ONCE again, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) yesterday in Kaduna told state governors who say they cannot pay the N18,000 minimum wage to resign immediately instead of incuring the wrath of workers.

Labour are fighting a just-cause. l see no reason why Governors can't pay the new N18,000 minimum wage. Workers are the engine room of a state. They demand to be treated fairly, which includes good salary package.

The Senate has passed the "new minimum wage act" into law. Governors not complying to it, would amount to breaking the law.
