Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, has announced a new minimum wage of N104,000 for civil servants in the state.
The governor made the declaration during a meeting with workers at the Government House, Owerri, where he also disclosed that the monthly salary of medical doctors in the state civil service has been increased to N582,000.
Uzodimma attributed the wage review to improved internally generated revenue and higher federal allocations, noting that the move is designed to stimulate the state’s economy while enhancing workers’ morale and productivity.
In addition, the governor approved the release of N16 billion for the payment of gratuity arrears owed pensioners in the state.
