Minimum wage: Zamfara gov says payment may jeopardise payments in some states

by

Well, the tax issue has a lot of components there is the good aspect and there is the bad aspect. So, we are studying the situation so as also to advise our people on the way forward. Its an ongoing process and we will continue with the engagement.Reform in a system is inevitable and we should always expect reforms. However, in trying to do that, we also need to be careful not to be in a hurry to do something that will later hurt us.So, I believe we should carefully study the situation, and have a clear understanding and take a common stand.There is a component of it that talks about derivation and definitely, if we are to go by it, it is going to affect some of the states in terms of what kind of inflows they have and invariably it may make it difficult for some states to be able to pay their salaries.”Honestly, if we were to go by it, it would be difficult for some states to pay salaries especially with the issue of minimum wage.Some states may not be able to survive so it is something that must be carefully studied so that we dont hurt ourselves in the long run.
