The Governor of Ebonyi State, Francis Nwifuru, has approved an increase in the minimum wage for civil servants in the state, raising it to N75,000. This announcement was made in a press statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Monday Uzor, and shared with Channels Television.
The statement clarified that this decision was reached after a thorough evaluation of Nigeria’s current economic challenges, particularly those affecting civil servants.
The Governor emphasized that this new minimum wage aims to enhance the financial well-being of the workforce. By addressing the rising cost of living, the increase will also provide workers with improved economic opportunities.
