Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has alleged that some state governors cannot pay the proposed N30,000 minimum wage because they are not blocking the leakages going on within their governments, IgbereTv News.
According to him, only Kano State has an anti-corruption commission.
Falana, who said this on Thursday when he was featured on a breakfast show on IgbereTv, said the fight cannot be limited to the federal government alone.
He lamented what he called the negligence of state governments to join the federal government in its fight against corruption.
His words: “In line with section 15, subsection 5 of the constitution, the provision says the Nigerian state shall abolish corrupt practices and abuse of office.
“That does not mean the federal government. The Nigerian state, including the federal government, state government and local government. But apart from the federal government, no state in Nigeria is fighting corruption.”
