The Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has criticised governors who fail to pay their workers, saying such act is criminal.
Mr. Oshiomhole said this while delivering a keynote address at a town hall organised by the Kukah Centre on Wednesday.
He said the failure to pay salaries violates the labour law, which stipulates when workers should be paid.
Mr. Oshiomhole said it was immoral for governors and national assembly members who enjoy fixed benefits to complain of resources to pay the national minimum wage.
"One thing I cannot accept is that if you cannot have a decentralized system of compensation for executives, governors, commissioners and local government chairmen, how can these governors turn around and question the wisdom of a national wage structures for workers. It is that selective application of fiscal federalism that I found extremely offensive and unacceptable," he said.
