The Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) has pushed for a new national minimum wage of ₦100,000.
The position of the Governors was made known on Friday by the NGF Chairman and Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
He said the Governors endorsed the proposed figure as they recognized the need to improve workers’ welfare amid rising living costs..
According to him, the state governments are actively engaging with the federal government and labour unions to reach a sustainable agreement.
The call is expected to shape ongoing negotiations on wages, inflation and broader economic measures.
AbdulRahman added that the Governors also endorsed the economic reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The statutory national minimum wage is currently officially set at ₦70,000 per month under the National Minimum Wage Act and approved by President Tinubu.
However, some state governments like Lagos, Rivers, and Imo are paying higher than the ₦70,000 standard.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has asked the Federal Government to urgently review workers’ salaries in the new year, citing escalating inflation and worsening hardship across the country.
In his New Year address to workers, the President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, said workers’ earnings must reflect a living wage and not merely support survival.
“Given the escalating inflation and suffering, we demand an urgent wage review as a worker’s income must guarantee life, not mere survival, in furtherance of Mr President’s promise to pay living wages. We shall pursue this with every legitimate means at our disposal,” Ajaero said.
The labour leader acknowledged that 2025 was a particularly difficult year for Nigerian workers, marked by economic strain and deepening vulnerabilities.
A Nigerian lawyer and DStv subscriber, T. V. Ramnap, Esq., has filed a formal complaint and pre-action notice against Multichoice Nigeria Ltd over the broadcast of Big Brother Naija on DStv.
The complaint, dated May 25, 2026, was submitted to the Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission at the commission’s office in Asokoro, Abuja. Ramnap said the petition was filed pursuant to Section 2(1)(b) and (c) of the National Broadcasting Commission Act, Section 24 of the Nigerian Broadcasting Code, 6th Edition, and Chapter II of the 1999 Constitution.
In the petition, the lawyer alleged that recent episodes of Big Brother Naija contained scenes and conduct he described as indecent and contrary to Nigerian cultural and moral values.
According to him, the alleged violations included nudity, housemates allegedly engaging in romantic acts, the use of vulgar and indecent language, unmarried male and female housemates sleeping on the same bed in compromising positions, alleged uncensored sexual activity between housemates and repeated use of obscene language. He stated that video clips from recent episodes were attached to the complaint as evidence.
Ramnap argued that the programme violated Section 24 of the NBC Code, which prohibits broadcast materials that offend good taste or decency or are capable of encouraging crime or disorder.
He also cited Section 2(1)(b) of the NBC Act, stating that the commission is empowered to regulate broadcasting in a manner that promotes decency and public morality.
The lawyer further relied on Sections 21, 22 and 23 of the 1999 Constitution, arguing that the broadcast undermines constitutional objectives relating to the protection of Nigerian culture, customs, traditions, national ethics, discipline, integrity, dignity, social justice and patriotism.
According to him, the NBC Act and the Broadcasting Code are statutory mechanisms designed to enforce those constitutional objectives. He maintained that failure by the commission to sanction the programme would amount to allowing violations of both the broadcasting code and constitutional values.
Ramnap demanded that the NBC, within 30 days of receiving the petition, declare Big Brother Naija in its current format illegal and in breach of the NBC Code, the NBC Act and Chapter II of the Constitution.
He also asked the commission to direct Multichoice Nigeria Ltd to immediately suspend the programme, sanction the company in line with Section 14 of the NBC Act and provide him with written details of actions taken on the complaint.
The lawyer warned that if the NBC fails to act within the 30-day period, he would file a suit at the Federal High Court against the NBC, Multichoice Nigeria Ltd and the Attorney-General of the Federation.
According to the notice, the proposed suit would seek the enforcement of rights and public interest, a declaration that the programme is unlawful, an order compelling the NBC to carry out its statutory duties and an injunction restraining further broadcast of the show.
Ramnap said the complaint was filed in good faith and in the public interest to protect Nigerian culture, public morality and constitutional values.
South African lawmaker and chief whip of the uMkhonto weSizwe Party, Mmabatho Mokoena-Zondi, has been arrested over allegations of fraud linked to the alleged manipulation of party staff salaries.
She is expected to appear before the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Friday, May 29, 2026, as the case proceeds.
South Africa’s Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation, commonly known as the Hawks, said the 46-year-old MP is accused of orchestrating a scheme in which employees recruited into the MK Party were allegedly compelled to surrender portions of their salaries under false pretenses, according to local media reports.
Investigators allege that between August and December 2024, Mokoena-Zondi recruited four individuals to work as researchers for the MK Party and later required them to remit a percentage of their monthly earnings. Authorities further claimed the deductions were presented as contributions toward legal expenses related to MK Party leader and former South African president Jacob Zuma.
In a statement, the Hawks said the accused allegedly misled the employees into believing the salary deductions were legitimate contributions meant to support the party president’s legal battles.
The anti-corruption agency also stated that the alleged victims collectively lost about R233,317.99 during the period under investigation.
Mokoena-Zondi is set to make her first court appearance in Cape Town on Friday as the fraud case continues.
