INFOMEDIA reports that Organised Labour had alleged that some governors, including Malam El-Rufai were behind the proposed bill to move minimum wage from the exclusive list to the concurrent list.
Speaking on the matter, El-Rufai in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Communication, Muyiwa Adekeye, yesterday said decentralisation of the judiciary, police and labour matters are among the items recommended by the APC True Federalism Committee which he chaired.
He said this entails moving the constitutional provisions of the matters wholly or partly from the exclusive list to the concurrent list, so that powers and responsibility over them can be devolved.
