BREAKING: Celebration as Nigerian Governor Announces Payment of ₦70k Minimum Wage.

Adamawa state governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has announced the approval of the ₦70,000 new minimum wage for workers in the state, adding that the civil servants will begin to receive the increment from the August payment.

Comrade Emmanuel Fashe, the chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), announced the development on Monday, August 19, after having a closed-door meeting with Governor Fintiri at the government house.

Comrade Fashe said that state employees will start receiving the new minimum wage of N70,000 this month, while local government workers will receive it starting next month.

According to the union leader, the implementation will use the same consequential adjustment table from 2019, pending updated guidelines from the National Salaries, Wages, and Income Commission. Fashe explained that the percentage increase will be applied to the current salary, just like in 2019, to ensure a fair adjustment for all workers.

The Governor said in his tweet:

As a demonstration of our commitment to the welfare of workers in Adamawa State, I have approved the payment of a N70,000 minimum wage starting this August. Our civil servants deserve this and more. Together, we will continue to build a prosperous future for all.
