Zamfara promises to start paying N30,000 minimum wage from November
The Zamfara government has approved the immediate implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage for the state’s civil servants.
This is contained in a statement on Wednesday by Babangida Umar, a spokesperson for Deputy Governor Hassan Nasiha.
Mr Nasiha disclosed the development while receiving the agreement and copies of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by the government and trade unions in the state.
The deputy governor expressed satisfaction with the maturity and understanding demonstrated by the labour unions during the negotiation and engagement with government officials.
”Their understanding led to the amicable resolutions to implement the N30,000 minimum wage in November. The current economic situation and the lingering security challenges are among factors the government considered before agreeing to implement the new wage,” he said.
He commended the Bashir Yuguda-led committee that represented the government in reaching an amicable resolution with the trade unions.
The labour unions, represented by Sani Halilu, NLC chairman in the state, thanked the state government for accepting to implement the new wage for workers.
He commended the workers for supporting the unions during the struggle for wage increases.
