The N30,000 minimum wage has been approved by the Imo State government for the immediate implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage for the least paid workers in the State Public Service.
Disclosing this to news men on Thursday, the Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser to Governor Hope Uzodinma, Oguwike Nwachuku, explained that civil servants captured were those on the Grade level 1 Step 1.
“Consequential adjustments on other levels will be implemented as soon as the ongoing government-labour negotiations are concluded,” Nwachuku said.
He added, “It would be recalled that at a recent meeting Governor Uzodinma had with labour leaders in the state, he promised that he will pay the N30,000 minimum wage if all the negotiations with them are concluded.”
