The Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong, has said that the implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage at the local government level was not the responsibility of the state government.

He said the minimum wage was solely the responsibility of the 17 local government chairmen of the state.

The local government workers had in the past one month embarked on protests, leading to blockage of state secretariat to demand implementation of the federal government N30,000 minimum wage.

Lalong, who spoke through the state’s Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dan Manjang in Jos, said: “I advised local government employees to redirect their grouse to the right channel, which is the local government councils.

“It is their sole responsibility to negotiate and implement not only the minimum wage but other allowances they wish to offer them. This is more so that the allocation of local government is paid directly into the accounts of the local governments by the federal government and not warehoused with the state government.”

He called on the local government employees to show maturity and understanding by interfacing with their employers, warning that no disruption of public peace or government activities would be tolerated.
