Governor Fintiri Leads: Adamawa State Implements N70,000 Minimum Wage, Draws Applause From Labour

Adamawa state has started implementing the newly enacted N70,000 minimum wage, drawing applause from the labor unions.

Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu, signed the new minimum wage into law on July 29 after months of bitter negotiations with the unions.

A joint leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) paid a courtesy visit to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri to thank him for being the first governor to implement the new minimum wage, despite the fact that the state ranks about 23rd in size of revenue allocation from the federation account.

The NLC Chairman in the state, Comrade Emmanuel Fashe, told the governor that they were visiting to appreciate him for being “workers and masses friendly.”

Speaking when he received the labor leaders at government house in Yola, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri insisted that the federal government must reconsider its policies to make life easier for Nigerian citizens

On his reason for hastening action to implement the new minimum wage, Fintiri said it is the right thing to do for any government that has the masses at heart

On the state workers who will not benefit from the new minimum wage because of some elements of existing law, Fintiri explained that he is collaborating with the state house of assembly to amend the relevant provisions of the law to allow every class of worker equal benefits.

With his proactive and transformative governance since coming to office in 2019, Governor Fintiri is beginning to make a name for himself in the Nigerian political scene. Some are even speculating that he could be a strong contender in the 2027 presidential election, a prospect that is sure to pique the interest of many.
