Governor Nasiru Idris of Kebbi State has announced that his administration is fully prepared to implement the payment of a N70,000 minimum wage for workers in the state.
He made this statement during a meeting with the leadership of the Kebbi State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Friday.
The meeting, held at the Government House in Birnin Kebbi, was part of a courtesy visit by the NLC leadership to discuss pressing labor issues, including the welfare of workers in the state.
Governor Idris emphasized that his administration prioritizes the well-being of public servants and is committed to improving their living standards through the proposed wage increase.
This decision to implement the N70,000 minimum wage aligns with the governor’s campaign promises to enhance the economic conditions of civil servants and address the rising cost of living.
Governor Idris assured the NLC delegation that his government is taking all necessary steps to ensure the policy is rolled out smoothly and efficiently.
The governor’s pledge has been welcomed by the NLC leadership, which expressed optimism that the increased minimum wage would positively impact the livelihoods of workers across the state.
The NLC also reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with the state government to ensure that workers’ rights and welfare are safeguarded.
Governor Idris concluded by calling for continued collaboration between the state government and labor unions to promote harmony and address any challenges that may arise as the new wage policy takes effect.
