While Abia state is still paying 30 thousand naira as minimum wage. Competing with zamfara and Sokoto state. It's such a shame. |

States in Nigeria should be able to pay more of that amount if they have been creative in generating new income to their states without waiting for FG money. Each states in Nigeria have their own potentials |

With Anoh gas projects fully operational, Imo State federal allocation should explode. While I am not a fan of Hope Uzodinma, I like that he's intentional about equipping Imo youths with digital skills. The economy of the future will be knowledge driven, not based on fossil fuel. This shouldn't just be a piece of news! The new salary structure should be implemented with immediate effect. |

b0rn2fuck:For the governor to raise it again from 70k without compulsion, means the state now has enough money for that, and decided to reward the state ever dedicated workers. |
