Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi has approved N70,000 as the new minimum wage.<\/p>\n

Special adviser to the Governor on salary and pension, and committee member for the minimum wage implementation. Hon. Bashir Ado disclosed this on Saturday while responding to a question from newsmen on the government\u2019s plan for the implementation of the minimum wage shortly after casting his vote at Kanya Babba.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cGovernor Umar Namadi has already approved the N70,000 as minimum wage; what remains is for the committee to complete its assigned responsibility for the implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the committee had completed 90 percent of its work and would soon present the report to Governor Umar Namadi for onward approval of the new salary structure.<\/p>\n

He said the state has about nine salary structures and those with special salary scales that are above the minimum wage will enjoy consequential adjustment.<\/p>\n

Ado explained that even the NLC was pleased with the increment when they saw the template and the increased amount each civil servant will receive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am sure civil servants will laugh and appreciate Governor Umar Namadi\u2019s effort when they see the salary increase,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reported that the Jigawa State Executive Council, presided over by Governor Umar Namadi, had approved a 10-member committee to implement the new minimum wage in the state.<\/p>\n

The committee is chaired by the State Head of Service, Muhammad Dagaceri, with the Permanent Private Secretary to the Governor serving as Secretary.<\/p>\n

He added that Governor Namadi has also approved over N5b for the settlement of retirees\u2019 benefits delayed for over 20 months.<\/p>\n

He commended Governor Umar Namadi for his efforts to improve the welfare of civil servants and pensioners.<\/p>\n
