Adamawa commences N70,000 minimum wage payments in August
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has authorized the payment of the new national minimum wage of ₦70,000 to civil servants in the state, effective from August.
Comrade Emmanuel Fashe, the state Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), revealed this decision following a private meeting with the governor at the Government House.
Governor Fintiri had earlier pledged to implement the Federal Government’s resolution on the new minimum wage during the 2024 May Day celebrations.
According to Fashe, the 2019 consequential adjustment template will be used to calculate the new wage percentages, and the Accountant General’s office has been tasked with updating the payroll for August accordingly.
However, local government workers may have to wait until September for their salary adjustments, pending the completion of the necessary review by the National Salaries, Incomes, and Wages Commission.
