President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered state governors to start paying the wage awards pending the determination of the new minimum wage to reduce the hardship of the economy on the people.
The president implied that if the states had implemented the wage awards, it would provide much-needed relief without causing inflationary pressures.
He further pledged to inaugurate the Livestock Change programme in Nigeria within the next few weeks, aiming to transform the current challenges into economic opportunities.
“Give me two to three weeks. You will be part of the inauguration of the livestock change in Nigeria. I know what it means to economic sabotage for roaming cows to eat up the crops and vegetation of our lands, it could be painful but when we will reorientiate the herders and make provision for cattle rearing.
“The Governors should provide the lands and as the President, I am committed to giving you a comprehensive programme that will solve this problem.” The President said on Monday in Abuja.
