Femi Falana, a renowned human rights lawyer and SAN, has boldly asserted that both the federal and state governments have the financial capacity to pay the national minimum wage, provided they show the political will to recover monies that have been looted or illegally withheld from the federation account.

Falana made this known during an engaging interview with Channels Television.

He said, “The state governments that are saying they have no money to pay, the money is there.

“All they need, including the Federal Government, is to muster the political will to collect and recover money either looted or withheld from the federation account,” he added.
