- New wage will take effect from November
The Taraba State government has approved a new minimum wage of N70,000 for its workforce, in response to the December 1 strike notice issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to states that have yet to implement the updated national minimum wage.
In a statement, the state Head of Service, Paul Maigida Tino, confirmed that the new minimum wage would be effective starting November 2024. He emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting its workers’ welfare and aspirations.
“I wish to inform you that His Excellency, the Governor of Taraba State, Dr. Agbu Kefas, has approved the implementation of a N70,000 new minimum wage for workers in Taraba State, effective from November 2024, in line with his administration’s dedication to meeting the yearnings and aspirations of workers,” Tino stated.
