Just this evening 21st January, 2020, Mr. Udom Gabriel Emmanuel, the executive governor of Akwa Ibom State approved the implementation and the subsequent payment of the new minimum wage implemented by the Federal Government of Nigeria late last year 2019.
This came after NLC, Akwa Ibom State chapter threatened to go on warning strike should the state government refuses to implement the new minimum wage just like some other states in the country have done. Surprisingly, governor Udom Emmanuel, in compliance with the federal government directive accepted to pay the #30.000 new minimum wage.
Congratulations to Akwa Ibom State workers!
