| Edo State Government Announces N70,000 New Minimum Wage for Civil Servants |
This announcement comes after the governor announced a minimum wage of N40,000 for state civil servants in May 2022
In a groundbreaking move, the Edo State Government, led by Governor Godwin Obaseki, has approved a new minimum wage of N70,000 for civil servants in the state. This announcement was made in a press statement on the government's official X account, stating that the payment of the new minimum wage will commence on May 1, 2024.
- The Governor made this declaration while commissioning the Labour House, which is considered the most magnificent in Nigeria and named after Comrade Sen. Adams Aliu Oshiomhole.
- The minimum wage increase is to take effect from May 1, 2024.
- This announcement comes after the governor announced a minimum wage of N40,000 for state civil servants in May 2022.
- Speculations suggest that President Bola Tinubu may also announce a new national minimum wage on May 1, in commemoration of the International Labour Day, and backdate its implementation to April.
This development marks a significant improvement in the welfare of civil servants in Edo State and may set a precedent for other states to follow. The announcement is a testament to the government's commitment to recognizing the contributions of its employees and promoting their well-being.
