Governor Peter Mbah has approved a new minimum wage of N80,000 for Enugu State workers, effective from October 2024. The governor made this announcement via his official Facebook handle, acknowledging the dedication and sacrifices of the state’s workforce.
“I have just approved a minimum wage of N80,000 for Enugu workers, effective October 2024. We appreciate the hard work and sacrifices of the state’s workforce and will continue to prioritize their welfare in line with our campaign promises,” Governor Mbah stated.
This decision aligns with the N70,000 minimum wage recently approved by President Tinubu for all government workers across Nigeria. By exceeding the national standard, Governor Mbah reaffirms his commitment to improving the welfare of public servants in Enugu and delivering on his promises to prioritize their well-being. The new wage is expected to enhance the financial security of workers and strengthen their motivation to continue contributing to the development of the state.
