Resign If You Can’t Pay N70,000 Minimum Wage—NLC Tells Gombe Governor

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has challenged Gombe State governor, Inuwa Yahaya to step down from office if he’s unable to meet the new N70,000 minimum wage.

This comes in response to Yahaya’s recent comment that his administration can not afford to pay the newly established national minimum wage.

However, reacting to Governor Yahaya’s statement, Benson Upah, the Head of Public Relations for the NLC, advised the governor to resign.

“He should quit if he cannot pay. He took an oath of office to uphold the law and not to break it,” Upah asserted.
