In a move aimed at improving the welfare of civil servants in the state, Governor Francis Nwifuru has approved the disbursement of a new minimum wage of N70,000 to all civil servants in Ebonyi State.
This development is expected to bring relief to thousands of workers in the state’s public sector, who have been eagerly awaiting the implementation of the new wage structure.
According to a statement released by the state government, the new minimum wage takes effect immediately, and civil servants can expect to see the increased amount in their next paycheck.
Governor Nwifuru’s administration has been praised for its commitment to the welfare of workers in the state, and this latest move is seen as a testament to that commitment.
The implementation of the new minimum wage is expected to boost the morale of civil servants in the state and enhance their productivity.
Details of the disbursement plan and any accompanying benefits or allowances will be announced in due course.
This development makes Ebonyi State one of the few states in Nigeria to have implemented the new minimum wage, setting a precedent for other states to follow.
Civil servants in the state have expressed their gratitude to Governor Nwifuru and his administration for this significant gesture, which they believe will greatly improve their standard of living.
