Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has increased the minimum wage for Edo State workers from N70,000 to N75,000 to further improve their standard of living
Governor Okpebholo made the announcement while delivering his May Day speech at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, Edo State, on Thursday.
While appreciating the contributions of Edo State workers to the growth and development of the state, the governor said his administration would always seek ways to improve workers’ welfare.
He said, “Today, I am proud to announce that our administration has approved a new minimum wage of N75,000 per month for Edo workers.
“It’s our way of saying thank you to Edo workers. We believe this will make a real difference, and in return, we count on your renewed dedication as we build a better Edo together.
“Since assuming office, my administration has remained fully committed to the welfare of our workers. One of our first actions in office was to convert many casual workers, including over 1,000 cleaners who, for years, had no job security, into the core civil service, giving them stability and peace of mind.
