Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has announced the approval of a new minimum wage of N80,000 for workers in the state.
In a statement shared via his social media platform, the governor confirmed the wage increase, stating, “I have just approved a minimum wage of N80,000 for Enugu workers, effective from October 2024.”
Governor Mbah emphasized his administration’s commitment to the welfare of state employees, adding, “We recognize the hard work and dedication of our workforce and will continue to prioritize their well-being, in line with our campaign promises. Tomorrow is here.”
It’s worth noting that in August, Governor Mbah inaugurated a committee tasked with implementing the new national minimum wage for civil and public servants in the state. This followed the Federal Government’s approval of N70,000 as the new minimum wage under President Bola Tinubu’s administration
