President BOLA AHMED TINUBU has appealed to 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.

Speaking in Niger State at the commissioning of the remodelled domestic terminal of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Airport in Minna, the President stated that all states need to adopt the wage award saying that the National Executive Council would also adopt it.

The president implied that if the states had implemented the wage awards, it would provide much-needed relief without causing inflationary pressures.

He also assured that the student loans and other economic measures would soon commence as steps are being taken by the government to relieve the people of hunger.

He further outlined plans for a comprehensive programme to address the challenges of violent attacks, cattle rustling, and other related issues.

President TINUBU also pledged to organize an inauguration of the Livestock Change programme in Nigeria within the next few weeks.
