BREAKING: Benue Governor Approves N30, 999 As Minimum Wage For Civil Servants

The Governor Samuel Ortom-led Benue State Government has approved the sum of N30, 000 new minimum wage for civil servants in the state.

According to Enyi, Ortom gave the approval during a meeting in the state.

On when it will take effect, Enyi said: “We are yet to conclude the consequential adjustments and when that is done we will get a date of the take-off.”

Recall that Ortom had in December last year said his administration waa willing to pay the N30,000 national minimum wage but would do better if the revenue sharing formula undergoes an upward review.

He had spoken at the Benue Peoples House in Makurdi, the state capital, when the Federal Commissioner representing Benue State at the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC, Adaa Maagbe paid him a courtesy visit.
