Following a series of meetings between the Nigerian government and the organised labour, President Bola Tinubu approved a national minimum wage for workers in the country.

The president signed into law, a new minimum wage of N70,000 from the initial N30,000 marking a significant development.

The new minimum wage is viewed as a key step in addressing the rising cost of living, economic hardship and improving the welfare of civil servants.

However, the implementation of the new minimum at the state level has sparked mixed reactions.

While some state governors have expressed their readiness to pay the new minimum wage, others have raised concerns about their inability to do so due to limited financial resources.

Below are the state governors who have approved the new minimum wage of N70,000 for workers
