The Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF) have assured Nigerians that better wages will result from the ongoing negotiations between the government, private sector and organised labour.
The governors had previously rejected the Federal Government's proposal of N62,000, stating that some states would need to borrow money to pay salaries.
Despite this, organised labour continues to demand a wage of N250,000.
The governors chose to hold an emergency meeting after the Federal Executive Council postponed the minimum wage discussion on Tuesday to allow President Bola Tinubu to conduct broader consultations.
According to a communique released after an emergency meeting that extended into the early hours of Thursday, signed by NGF acting Director, Media, Ahmed Salihu, the Forum discussed various issues impacting the nation.
