Useless frustrated old man. Your anger is that Anambra is about to be the first to implement the new minimum wage while the cursed imo state is owing its workers over 10 months arrears.

Other States have been paying 18k to 20k minimum wage while Anambra was paying 10k and recently 12k with plans of paying 18k by July. What a shame Chino.

Though is a failed governor but he is not the cause. The reason for his failure is that Imo state is a cursed state. Nothing ever works in the worthless state. Check the history of the state and thank me later

When he took over the salary was below 18k. He raised it 15%. Now he's raising it again since states raising more revenue.

The governor had in his address told the workers “I won’t promise you what I cannot do”.

He reminded them that his administration had increased their salaries by 15 percent in 2015.

His address read in part, “I wish to restate my earlier promise that I will increase your salaries once I see a significant growth in my Internally Generated Revenue; once we are able to push it to N2.3bn per month. Now we have an average IGR of about N1.4 billion.

Anambra is already targeting 50k minimum wage while haters are crying all over the place. Obiano inherited a minimum wage of of 18 from his predecessor but he has increased it twice since he took over. The lowest paid civil servant in Anambra takes a minimum wage of ov 22k. Anambra is on overdrive. No idiot can stop us.


Read this:

Mr Jerry Nnubia, the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Anambra , says that the current minimum wage being earned by workers should be increased to N50,000 monthly from its present N18,000.

Nnubia told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Awka, capital of Anambra, that the increment became imperative following the “harsh” economic realities in the country.

Nnubia said that the minimum wage was long overdue for an upward review.

“At the time we negotiated for a minimum wage of N18, 000, a dollar was exchanging for N140, but a dollar exchanges for between N220 and N240 now.

“The cost of living; accommodation, transportation and food items has also gone high, making it difficult for salary earners to take care of their basic needs,” he said.

NAN also reports that the Association of Senior Civil Servants last month also demanded a minimum wage of N46, 000 for workers.

Its Secretary-General, Mr. Bashir Lawal, in Lagos State, said that the existing N18, 000 minimum wage could not meet the socio-economic demands of workers.

According to Nnubia, the Federal Government’s fight against corruption will further help to improve the economy.

He urged the Federal Government to review its housing policy for workers, noting that civil servants had not benefitted from the existing housing scheme despite their monthly contributions to the scheme.

“The current contributions of workers to the national housing scheme should be made to work,” he said.

He commended Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra for his positive dispositions towards workers’ welfare, but noted that more still needed to be done in the state.

“Anambra workers are full of expectations that Obiano will put smiles on their faces by fulfilling his promises of increasing salaries,” the unionist said.

I'm sure I'll be attacked by hungry public-sector workers reading this, but I think it's a shame Obiano is diverting all that extra revenue to yet more recurrent expenditure on salaries, instead of putting it into education, healthcare, roads, clean water, etc. All Nigerian states (as well as the FG) already have far too many public sector "workers" on their payrolls, most of whom do little "work" other than gossiping, sleeping on the job, soliciting bribes and so on - assuming they even show up at their places of "work" in the first place.

Stop spewing rubbish. Obi started off with 18k minimum wage and Obiano inherited and has improved beyond that.

Read the report i posted up there and cure your ignorance. Your mischievous attempt to dent Anambra has failed.

Anambra workers demand full implementation: In Anambra State, immediate past government of Peter Obi, instead of implementing the N18.000 minimum wage, just added N10,000 and just recently, the incumbent governor merely effected a15 percent increment to the workers’ salaries which still fell short of the N18.000 minimum wage.

Oh well we both know nobody cares about that stuff. The new debate is How much to raise the minimum wage now. The only thing that blows my mind is when people justify not paying pensioners say they didn't work anyway. Yet somehow they were never fired.

He already does a goid job from all indices I've seen about sbout relatively. I justify this since he promised it in his campaign. I think the fire service would be good start. I noticed a few stories where burns building by market.

Anambra to pay new minimum wage in July
By Dom Ekpunobi, Onitsha | 27 March 2018 | 3:10 am

Willie Obiano

Anambra State workers would from July this year begin to earn a new minimum wage.
The Commissioner for Information, Mr. C-Don Adinuba, who announced this during his first post exco press briefing at the Government House, Awka, said that although the minimum wage would have taken off in April, the state had to wait for the Federal Government pronouncement on the issue, so it would not work against the laws of the nation.

He also announced that Anambra is set to launch a 50-year development plan for a sustainable development of the state.

The Commissioner said a committee to handle the take off and running of the development plan would be inaugurated within the next two weeks.

He said the state would witness faster growth and asked for the cooperation of all and sundry in order to enable Governor Willie Obiano realise his development goal in the state.

He said although the governor achieved a lot in his first tenure, he has plans to make Anambra the most competitive state in the country.

Adinuba said that the secretariat in Awka would soon wear a new look, while two bridges would be constructed at the Regina Ciely Junction in Awka and at Orumbanasa area of the state adding that the Orumbanasa bridge would be a military bridge.

The state government, he said, had also decided to dualise the Awka road in Onitsha and warned that street trading in Onitsha would no longer be tolerated.

He said the local council election was stalled by litigation pending in the court adding that as soon as they were discharged , the election would be conducted.

Do you guys even know when and what amount NASS is raising minimum wage. You guys wouldn't need to wait to begin with. You'll just raise retroactively it to stay in compliance with national laws.

FG has little or no say on state government payment structure. Why didn't all the States comply when FG approved 18k. State can pay 100k I'd they like, it's their budget. There is separation of power on certain national issue or are you saying FG will force state to comply with new negotiating minimum wage?

Read Obiano statement. He held off implement new wage waiting for new FG minimum wage. Why states like Anambra didn't comply with 18k minimum wage is because they couldn't afford it. The federal government lazy about enforcing laws.

Setting Minimum wage is constutionally constitutionally in exclusive list federal government. I don't know where your pulling your baseless claims about separation of powers. Yes states can pay over minimum wage. It's called minimum wage for a reason. Obvious point. is obvious.
