Historical Report Details Minimum Wage Disputes and Governance in Borno State
What happened
A 1995 report documented that the state NLC branch in Borno State demanded the implementation of a newly approved national minimum wage. The state governor at the time stated that the state was handicapped due to having 30,000 civil servants and had to retrench workers before the wage could be implemented, a move the NLC rejected. The report also mentioned that Kashim Shettima later banned motorcycles from Maiduguri streets and purchased 5,000 tricycles, which were sold to beneficiaries at a discounted price.
