Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has announced readiness towards ensuring prompt implementation of the new national minimum wage of N70,000.

The decision, according to the Governor, followed the comprehensive discussion the government held with the State Chapter of the Nigeria Labor Congress.

In a media chat with journalists at the Government House , the Governor said that the move was aimed at mitigating the negative effects of inflation that led to the high cost of living in the country.

Governor Uzodinma emphasized that his administration was committed to enhancing the well-being of the State’s workforce amid economic stagnation.

He also said that the new policy demonstrated his administration’s dedication to ensuring that workers received fair compensation for their contributions towards economic progression of the state.

The Governor urged the State Civil Servants to boost their productivity and dedication to delivering what he described as high-quality services to the people of the State.

“In line with our commitment to Imo workers, I held a productive meeting with the leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) in the State to draft modalities for the swift implementation of the new national minimum wage for the State workers.

“The discussion progressed smoothly and I am optimistic that with the pace we have set, the implementation of the new wage structure will commence in no distant time,”
he assured.

Confirming the new development, the State Chapter Chairman of the NLC, Comrade Chigemezu Nwigwe expressed confidence in the government’s commitment to workers’ welfare, noting that plans were underway to implement the new wage structure.
