Seven states and the Federal Capital Territory have not started paying the new N70,000 minimum wage, which was supposed to begin in October.
So far, only 25 states have either started paying or announced what they will pay.
The states yet to act include Zamfara, Sokoto, Osun, Cross River, Imo, Plateau, and Taraba.
Workers have lamented the delay is making life harder, especially with rising costs of food, fuel, and electricity.
Many believe that even N70,000 is not enough to cover basic needs.
They called on their state governments to act quickly to ease their financial struggles.
