Since the minimum wage bill was passed, most governors have shown in words and action that they are not ready to comply with the new law, which is sad.

I think it is only reasonable and fair that they take the lead and start paying corps members the minimum wage. The state governments might follow suit if the federal government decide to lead by example.NYSC members are also workers. Long live Nigeria!
