The Imo State Government has approved the implementation of the ₦70,000 new minimum wage.
In
a statement shortly after a meeting with labour leaders in Owerri on Tuesday 26
November, 2024, Governor Hope Uzodimma said the state government is committed
to improving the welfare of Imo workers and pensioners.
“Improving the welfare of Imo workers and pensioners remains a sacred obligation, and we have exemplified this once more with the approval for the implementation of the national minimum wage of N70,000 for Imo State workers,” Uzodimma wrote on X.
“This decision, a product of extensive consultations with labour leaders in the state, underscores our dedication to fostering improved living conditions for our workforce, the governor continued.
“In addition, we have approved a 10% increment for those on consolidated salary structures, ensuring equitable enhancements across all cadres.
“Beyond the minimum wage implementation, we
have taken further steps to ensure comprehensive welfare for our workers. These
include the financial reflection of promotions recently earned by employees and
the sustenance of the regular 13th-month salary payment.
“Parallel to these efforts, we have finalized measures to enroll Imo pensioners into the State Healthcare Services Scheme, ensuring access to quality medical care at no cost. Furthermore, we are commencing gratuity payments for the next batch of beneficiaries, affirming our commitment to retirees”, he said.
