The Edo state government has fulfilled its promise by paying workers the new minimum wage of N70,000.

This followed Governor Godwin Obaseki’s assurance that the minimum wage would be increased from N40,000 to N70,000, starting with the May 2024 salaries.

Obaseki made this commitment during the recent inauguration of the Labour House in Benin, the state capital, aiming to reflect the current economic realities and alleviate the impact of the harsh economy on the people of Edo state.

In a press statement released on Sunday, May 26, Edo Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, emphasized that the payment of the N70,000 minimum wage demonstrates the Obaseki-led administration’s dedication to the welfare of Edo workers.

He said: “The Edo State government has paid the May salaries of workers in the state, reflecting the implementation of the N70,000 new minimum wage.

“This is in fulfillment of the promise made by Governor Godwin Obaseki to increase the minimum wage from N40,000 to N70,000, beginning this May, as part of efforts to cushion the impacts of the harsh economy occasioned by fuel subsidy removal and other economic decisions by the Federal Government.

“It is also in furtherance of the commitment of the Edo state government to meet its statutory obligation, even before the end of the month.”

Nehikhare also urged Edo workers to be committed to their duties, while contributing effectively to ensuring the governor finished well and strong on November 12, 2024, thereby reciprocating the gesture by the state government to their welfare.
