Imo Begins Payment Of ₦104,000 Minimum Wage To Workers
A well-motivated workforce is the backbone of effective governance. When civil servants are adequately paid, productivity rises, morale improves, and public service delivery becomes more efficient.
A truth the Imo State Government seems to have embraced.
The state has officially commenced the payment of the new ₦104,000 minimum wage to its workers, marking a significant step towards improving the welfare of civil servants and cushioning the effects of the prevailing economic hardship.
The initiative, which aligns with Governor Hope Uzodimma’s commitment to prioritising workers’ welfare, places Imo among the few states in Nigeria to implement such a robust wage structure.
Government officials confirmed that the new wage has already been reflected in workers’ September salaries, bringing relief and renewed hope to thousands of state employees.
The move has earned widespread commendation from labour unions and civil servants, who described it as a timely intervention in light of the rising cost of living and inflation.
Analysts believe that sustained commitment to fair compensation will not only enhance service delivery but also strengthen trust between the government and its workforce.
