Following the recent assent by President Muhammadu Buhari, some state governments have agreed to pay the N30,000 national minimum wage.

The Nation reports that some of these states including Kano, Zamfara, Kwara, Rivers, Kogi and Edo states have agreed to pay the new minimum wage of N30,000.

In Kano state, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, assured the people of the state that his administration will give priority to the welfare of civil servants in the state.

He also said that it is for this reason that the state government is not owning its workers in Kano.

“We are ready to pay N30,000 monthly salary, because the welfare of our workers is paramount to anything and we will always give it. We will pay the N30,000,” Ganduje said.

Also in Zamfara state, the governor through his media aide, Ibrahim Dosara, said the state government under his watch would do everything possible to ensure the welfare of workers in the state does not suffer.

The governor of Osun state the present administration will await guidelines on payment of the N30,000 minimum wage.

In the same vein, the Kwara state government said it is also prepared for the payment of the new minimum wage.

The senior special assistant to the governor on media and communications Dr Muyideen Akorede said a committee has been set up to work out the modalities and sources of revenue for payment months before the president signed the new into law.

Also, in Kogi state, a similar committee was set up to look into the modalities of making compliance easy, while the Niger state government said it is disposed to paying the new minimum wage

The Niger state governor, Abubakar Sani Bello said the sttae will pay the new minimum wage of N30,000.

Governor Bello's aide on media and publicity, Jide Orintunsin, said the state workforce had a 25 per cent salary increase recently placing the state higher than the former minimum wage.

“Governor Sani Bello, early this year, had assured the state workforce of the new minimum wage at a special session he had with organised labour recently. He is committed to ensuring the welfare of the state workforce," Orintunsin said.

Similarly, in Delta state the chief press secretary to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa said the Delta State is not going to be an outcast in the payment of the new minimum wage.

The Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike, has also promised to comply with the provisions of the new minimum wage law.

Wike through the state's commissioner for information and communications, Emma Okah, said “Rivers state Government will pay whatever is prescribed as the new minimum wage bill.”

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
