Anambra Confirms Payment of N70,000 Minimum Wage, Debunks Exclusion from Paying States
The Anambra State Government has confirmed the payment of the new N70,000 minimum wage to its workers, dismissing media reports that excluded the state from the list of compliant states.
In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information, the government reaffirmed that Governor Charles Soludo began implementing the new minimum wage in October 2024, in line with federal directives to improve workers’ living standards.
The statement highlighted Governor Soludo’s commitment to the welfare of workers, noting that salaries in the state are consistently paid on or before the 25th of every month. The governor was described as “labor-friendly,” ensuring that pensioners also benefit from upward adjustments to their monthly pensions.
“This administration remains dedicated to improving the welfare of workers in Anambra State. The N70,000 minimum wage has been in effect since October, further demonstrating our commitment to creating a better standard of living for civil servants,” the statement read.
The government urged the public to disregard misleading reports, reiterating its dedication to the prompt and enhanced payment of salaries and pensions.
