As discussions intensify around setting a new national minimum wage, the absence of a formal wage law poses a significant challenge. Without clear guidelines, negotiations lack structure, leaving room for ambiguity and ineffective enforcement. Nigeria has struggled with enforcing minimum wage due to this legal gap, leading to uneven compliance and weak enforcement mechanisms. With many states yet to implement the previous minimum wage, doubts arise about the effectiveness of future negotiations. The issue is compounded by financial burdens faced by state governments, further complicating the path to meaningful wage reform.
