Nigeria's labor body watches states' implementation of new minimum wage, threatens strikes for non-compliance.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is closely watching how Nigerian states implement the new minimum wage of ₦70,000, with a December 1 deadline. Many states, like Osun and Kano, have complied, while others like Cross River and Zamfara are lagging, potentially facing strikes. Osun state has gone further, setting a minimum wage of ₦75,554 and a pension boost of ₦25,000 for retirees. The NLC president warned non-compliant states of potential industrial actions.
