NEW MINIMUM WAGE
Kebbi Gov. Okays N75,000, Orders Implementation In 72 Hours
The governor of Kebbi state Nasir Idris has signed the new minimum wage of 75,000 with implementation expected in 72 hours.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by the president of the Nigerian Labour Congress Joe Ajareo at the government house in Kebbi.
The soaring cost of living in Nigeria has posed significant challenges for its citizens, with skyrocketing prices of goods and services.
In response, civil servants have been advocating for a minimum wage increase to cope with these difficult times.
Following months of deliberation, the Kebbi State government has officially approved a new minimum wage of N75,000 for every civil servant in the state.
Governor Nasir Idris signed off on this initiative in the presence of the Nigerian Labour Congress president and the National Executive Council NEC on the 23rd of October 2024 at the Kebbi state government house.
To ensure timely implementation, the governor directed the Accountant General and the Commissioner of Finance to effect this change within 72 hours, guaranteeing that all Kebbi State workers receive their new minimum wage.
The NLC president Joe Ajaero, commended the Kebbi state government for its commitment and accessibility.
The Accountant General, Bello Ibrahim Nahaliku, has assured Kebbi state workers that his office is already taking the necessary steps to ensure they begin receiving the new minimum wage within the next 72 hours, as directed by the governor.
This development comes as a relief to public servants, who have been severely impacted by the cost-of-living crisis.
With Nigeria's inflation rate at its highest in 17 years, real wages have fallen by 100%, forcing citizens to make tough choices amidst rising prices.
The N75,000 minimum wage aims to alleviate some of this pressure, providing a vital safety net for civil servants.
