Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has directed the payment of the new minimum wage starting from October 2024.
According to a statement by the state government, the governor approved the payment of the N70,000 new minimum wage as announced by the Federal Government over the weekend.
The statement, signed by the state Commissioner for Finance, Hauwa Nuru, said the approved minimum wage would be implemented across the state’s public service, effective from October 2024.
“This decision, which includes consequential adjustments to the relevant salary structures, was made after a successful tripartite meeting between government representatives, the leadership of the Organised Labour in Kwara State — Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC), and the Joint Negotiating Council (JNC) — and representatives from the organised private sector.”
Nuru, who co-chaired the minimum wage committee, expressed appreciation to Governor Abdulrazaq for giving the committee full autonomy to reach a consensus that benefits all parties involved.
“The immediate implementation of this new wage underscores Governor AbdulRazaq’s proactive and worker-friendly approach,” she stated.
Nuru said Governor Abdulrazaq “remains committed to the welfare of public servants and all citizens of Kwara State, as part of the broader vision for sustainable development and economic stability.”
“The template also covers workers in the 16 local government areas of the state.”
Governor AbdulRazaq’s administration continues to prioritise the well-being of its workforce and the general populace, demonstrating its dedication to fostering growth and prosperity for all in Kwara State, according to the commissioner.
Nuru appreciated the governor’s leadership and foresight, noting that this new wage policy is a timely and much-needed measure that will help cushion the effects of the current economic realities in a sustainable way.
She also commended the collaborative spirit between the government and the labour unions, which made this achievement possible.
The new minimum wage is a testament to the state’s commitment to ensuring that workers’ welfare remains at the forefront of its policies, she added.
