Obaseki Increases Minimum Wage Of Edo Workers To N70,000
EDO State governor, Godwin Obaseki has announced an increase in the state minimum wage payable to workers from Thirty-Five Thousand Naira (N35,000.00) to Seventy Naira (N70,000.00).
The governor made the announcement earlier today while inaugurating the Labour House in the state. He further disclosed that the new minimum wage for civil servants comes into effect on May 1st, 2024.
Obaseki is currently serving out his second term even as the state gears up for another governorship election later in September this year.
A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Obaseki is strongly backing the party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo, ahead of the contest which is likely to be a keen battle as other political parties get set to fight for the number one seat of power in the state.
