Governor Nasir Idris Is Not Adhering To The N75k Minimum Wage In Kebbi State – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kebbi has come out to blast the state government for allegedly shortchanging Local Government workers after they were paid their November salary.

The PDP Spokesperson in the state, Alhaji Sani Dododo recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, PDP has been keenly following trends of minimum wage payments since its formal announcement in October and the local governments and Kebbi teachers’ minimum wage was far from the approved amount of N75,000.

He added that this development was testified by several teachers and LG workers from across the 21 LGAs of the state, so it is legit.

His words, “PDP has been keenly following trends of minimum wage payments since its formal announcement in Oct. this year.

It will be recalled that Governor Nasir Idris, made a formal declaration to pay the sum of N75,000 as the new minimum wage effective October 2024, for both State and Local Government Workers.

To our greatest dismay and after persistent delays, the local governments and teachers’ minimum wage was finally released this month but was grossly far from the approved amount of N75,000.

This development was testified by several teachers and LG workers from across the 21 LGAs of the state.

We challenge the state government to dispute the fact that despite agreed minimum wage figure, the state Is still paying less than N40,000 to almost all categories of staff on Grade Level 3, 4 and 5.”

WOW.
