Governor Mohammed Bago of Niger State has disclosed his administration’s target to pay ₦1 million as minimum wage for the state civil servants.
The Governor made this known when speaking at the Government House in Minna, the state capital, on Friday, October 25, 2024.
He also announced that his government would pay workers in the state a new minimum wage of ₦80,000.
Bago revealed that the decision was taken after an extensive meeting with the leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) in the state.
“This N80,000 is sustainable. We are sure that with our stride in agriculture, we can pay. We are creating a civil service farm so that civil servants can be productive. With that, we are sure that we can do ₦1 million as minimum wage,” he said.
