Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has approved the sum of 80,000 Naira as the minimum wage for the state’s workers.
Mbah, who made the announcement on his social media page, said it takes effect immediately.
“Today, I’m happy to announce a new minimum wage for workers in Enugu state, reflecting our fidelity to their welfare in regard of which we’ve been resolutely committed.
“We’ve approved the sum of 80,000 Naira to take immediate effect as the new minimum wage in Enugu State,” he said.
He added that the move is hinged on his administration’s believe that the labour is a creator of wealth and if well taken care of, will grow wealth for the state.
