    Jigawa Governor Approves ₦70,000 As New Minimum Wage For Civil Servants

    By Mahmud Aliyu DutseOctober 25, 2024
    Jigawa Governor

    GOVERNOR Umar Namadi of Jigawa State has approved ₦70,000 as the new minimum wage for civil servants.

    Governor Namadi announced this at the Jigawa State Government House in Dutse shortly after receiving a report from the committee on minimum wage.

    The governor emphasised the importance of ensuring that the state’s workforce is adequately compensated for their service.

    “After receiving the report by the committee on minimum wage, we have resolved to pay our workers ₦70,000 as the new minimum wage,” he said.

    He further highlighted the government’s commitment to the well-being of its civil servants, noting that the decision was made after careful consideration of the economic realities and the financial capacity of the state.

    “We understand the rising cost of living, and we believe this increment will go a long way in alleviating the financial burden on our workers,” the governor added.

    The announcement has been well received by civil servants in the state who had been eagerly awaiting news on the wage increase.

    Happy Birthday

    Governor Namadi assured the public that the new wage structure would be implemented as soon as possible and all efforts would be made to ensure a smooth transition.

    The committee on minimum wage, which was tasked with reviewing the salary structure in the state, commended the governor for his swift action. According to sources, the committee’s report took into account various factors, including inflation and the need to retain a motivated workforce.

    This development comes as several states across the country are grappling with wage adjustments, following rising inflation and calls for better living conditions for workers.

    President Bola Tinubu had earlier in the year approved ₦70,000 as the new minimum wage for workers in the country. That was from the initial ₦30,000.
