As the new minimum wage implementation progresses, 27 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) are yet to establish committees necessary for analysing and implementing the new wage structure.

These committees play a crucial role in negotiating and implementing the minimum wage within their jurisdictions. Without these committees, the process of aligning state wage structures with the federal mandate remains stalled.

The lack of progress in forming these committees raises concerns about the timely implementation of the minimum wage, affecting workers who are still awaiting their adjusted salaries. Here is the full list of states yet to establish minimum wage committees:

1. Abia
2. Adamawa
3. Akwa Ibom
4. Anambra
5. Bauchi
6. Bayelsa
7. Benue
8. Borno
9. Cross River
10. Delta
11. Ebonyi
12. Ekiti

14. Gombe
15. Imo
16. Jigawa

These states and the FCT are urged to expedite the formation of their respective committees to ensure that workers receive their rightful wages in line with the new minimum wage guidelines.
