…Payment to take immediate effect
Ben Ezechime, Enugu
Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has approved the sum of N80,000 as minimum wage for Enugu State workers with immediate effect.
The governor stated this when he received the report of the committee set up to look into the minimum wage issue in the state.
“Today, I’m happy to announce a new minimum wage for workers in Enugu State, reflecting our fidelity to their welfare in regards of which we’ve been resolutely committed.
“We’ve approved the sum of N80,000 to take immediate effect as the new minimum wage in Enugu State.”
Mbah added that the move was hinged on his administration’s belief that labour is a creator of wealth and if well taken care of, will grow wealth for the state.
