long deliberations, that being people-centred and labour-inclined administrations, the governors could not but pay the new minimum wage.

Hosted by Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, other governors at the meeting were Abiola Ajimobi, Oyo; Rauf Aregbesola, Osun; Adams Oshiomhole, Edo; and Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun.
