Good morning all. How come, this 150k Christmas bonus is not on any news media. Where did this info come from?

Iykeluv:
Don't judge easily,the governor does not need to come out and announce that he is paying min wage this month.
Just know that Rivers State is paying min wage this month.Got the info from a reliable source at ministry of finance that the calculation is already done.So let's wait and see before you conclude

I also believe that it will be paid this month. During the May Day speech of the governor. He said he would implement as soon as d MW is sign into law and template is out. I think he will keep to his words because that is where integrity starts.

Starhawk:
Minimum wage in Rivers State will be pay by January 2025.

Hmm. P A to the governor of Rivers State. Thank you.

Federal Govt 70k minimum wage Template.
Is this unrealistic too?

Hmm

[quote author=dmercy141983 post=129837629]Why should minimum wage be compared to dollar as the standard measurement or comparison? Why can't minimum wage be set according the economic reality of the country?

Why is dollar controlling our economy?
Well Nigeria is a useless country after all!

Tụfịakwa! 600k plus minimum wage is ot realistic and 100k minimum wage is very poor.


The economic reality is that inflation would continue to ravage our economy until Nigeria shift from being an importing nation to an exporting nation.
We are ruled by leaders who have refused to follow the ABCD...of economics and majoring on Political party and power control.
I weep for my country!!

In a country where God has blessed us with so much resources that would have put us on top of the world map if properly utilize. As at present, Nigeria is purely a consumption economy, thus the gap between the dollar and naira would continue to widen. It's pathetic that in 2024, Nigeria cannot boast of producing fuel...but the government is ready to waste billions if not trillions to build a road from Lagos to Calabar. While they cannot even maintain the East West Road. Why wouldn't the money be used instead to build even two or three functional modula refinery. Hmm
I weep for my country Nigeria.
Nigeria is indeed a failed state!!

Bayelsa Govt Approves Wage Award for Civil Servants, Tasks Labour Centres On Synergy

The Bayelsa State Government has approved the payment of wage awards to civil servants in its ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) as part of measures to cushion the effects of the excruciating economic realities.

The Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, disclosed this on Friday when the leadership of the South-South Zone of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) led by its Chairman, Comrade Bolum Martin and Vice Chairman, Comrade Julius Laye, paid him a courtesy visit in Government House, Yenagoa.

A statement by the media aide to the Deputy Governor, Mr Doubara Atasi, explained that the wage award which was approved by Governor Douye Diri is in line with the Federal Government's appeal to the states to utilize funds from oil subsidy removal to ameliorate the economic hardship facing workers.

According to the statement, Senator Ewhrudjakpo had directed the Head of the State Civil Service, Mrs. Biobelemoye Charles-Onyeama, to work out modalities for the payment of the N35,000 wage awards to all civil servants on the state government payroll.

Describing the civil service as the engine room for the implementation of government's programmes and policies, the Deputy Governor assured that the present administration in Bayelsa would continue to take the welfare of civil servants seriously.

He assured the TUC of government's support and encouragement where necessary to meet their goals and promote a healthy industrial relations in the state, South South region and the country at large.

Senator Ewhrudjakpo, however, urged the two major labour centres in the country, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) to always work together in the interest of workers and the entire citizenry of the country.

His words: "The effectiveness of any government is the civil service. And so, anybody who disorganizes, disregards, undermines and fails to recognize the civil service, that person is only doing so to promote his or her own intention to fail in government or governance.

"Civil servants are the people that implement the programmes and policies of government. In fact, they run with the vision of government. That is why we take our civil service very seriously here.

"And our civil servants are also very supportive. They have always supported us as a government. So, we don't joke with matters affecting them. As we speak, we are not owing our workers.

"Like the wage award you mentioned, I want you to know that the Governor has already approved the wage awards for civil servants in the state. Soon after this meeting, the Head of Service will get the approval and start working on it."

Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman of TUC, South South zone, Comrade Bolum Martin, acknowledged the labour friendly disposition of the Governor Diri-led administration, noting that Bayelsa is among the few states that had extended the payment of the 30 percent minimum wage to local government workers.

Comrade Martin, who is also the TUC State Chairman of Delta State, also lauded the state government for taking the lead on paying call duty allowance to health personnel, wage awards to local government workers and for creating a conducive work environment.

He informed that the TUC chairmen and secretaries of the South South states were in Bayelsa for their zonal meeting ahead of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting next month.

Present at the courtesy call were the Secretary to State Government, Prof Nimibofa Ayawei; the Head of Service, Barrister (Mrs.) Biobelemoye Charles-Onyeama; the Chief of Staff, Government House, Dr. Peter Akpe, and the Deputy Chief of Staff, Hon. Irorodamie Komonibo.

Others are the Deputy Chief of Staff, Deputy Governor's Office, Comrade Gowon Toruyouyei; the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Labour, Employment and Productivity, Mr. Hitler Dickson, and the Head of Exco, Deputy Governor's Office, Mrs. Mercy Alafuro.

Local government workers were paid 30k minimum wage in the month of February. I expect it to also be implemented for the state. I feel that is the main thing.

Na wah ooh. Yet to see Access bank alert. Hmm

Hmm. It's like they are tired of this job, if indeed this information is true.
May God have mercy on them.

The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has approved N35,000 wage award for the state public servants.

This was just as he also approved the payment of 50% of basic salary as an end-of-year bonus for all political appointees and public servants, employees of local governments and local council development areas, Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board and the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps.

The approval was contained in a circular obtained by PUNCH Online, signed by the Lagos State Head of Service, Bode Agoro, with reference number CIR/HOS/’23/Vol. 1/ 109.

The circular titled ‘2023 End Of Year Bonus And Implementation Of Wage Awards’, stated that the governor approved the payments as part of his administration’s appreciation of public servants’ contribution towards the progress of the state, as well as his commitment to their welfare.

The statement further noted that the end-of-year bonus and the wage award which would be paid alongside December 2023 salary, would be non-taxable.

The statement reads, “As part of the present administration’s continuous appreciation of the contributions of all public servants towards the advancement of the state and its unrelenting commitment to the welfare of its workforce, it is hereby notified for general information that Mr. Governor has graciously approved the payment of 50% of basic salary as end-of-year bonus for all political appointees and public servants, including employees of local governments and local council development areas, Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board and Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps.

“In the same vein, Mr. Governor has further approved the implementation of the wage award (palliative) pending the review of the national minimum wage.

“Therefore, the 50% of basic salary as an end-of-year Bonus, as well as the wage award palliative), will be paid alongside the December 2023 salary as a “non-taxable element”.

“Sequel to the foregoing, public servants are implored to continually strive for excellence in providing qualitative service delivery to the people of the State in line with Mr Governor’s THEMES+ Agenda.

“Accordingly, all heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies are hereby enjoined to note the content of this circular and give it the service-wide publicity it deserves.”

This is unfair o!

Why is it that when it concerns teachers, things must go wrong. I think all these are deliberate so that they can cash out on some teachers... While others were given 3 level promotion in other ministries, ours was 2 level for those that got while others didn't get. Hmm, they have started again ooh. That's how they denied us Fed & March salary in 2016 up till today.

I just received my December Salary now. Thank God ooh that it didn't enter voicemail like my Feb & March 2016 Salary. God dey!

As at yesterday, some of us are yet to be paid December Salary. Why is it so?

I called a friend today at the SSSB. He said hopefully by next week we would be paid. It like some people are using the money for business. Wicked people everywhere.

mod17:
My dear just confused myself. The worst part is nobody is explaining anything to us

What is really happening? Some persons have been paid on Monday which is a public holiday, while others have not been paid up till now.
I called a friend at the SSSB to asked if there are other issues or problem why others are yet to get their salaries. He said nothing was wrong and that the rest would be paid. But am not satisfied with his response.
Please, does anyone have an update on this matter?
