By Jennifer Y Omiloli

Nasarawa State Gov. Abdullahi Sule has promised to begin the process of implementing the state’s N30,000 minimum wage.

The governor made the promise on Wednesday in Akwanga, the state’s local government area, at a two-day retreat for political appointees in the state.

According to him, now that the consequential adjustment for employees at grade levels 7 to 17 has been achieved, the state will soon begin the implementation process.

Sule said he had promised to obey the law as a governor, adding that the ‘ N30,000 minimum wage is a rule that must be obeyed in the state.

“We will engage the organized labour in the state on the consequential adjustment for levels 7 to 17 civil servants as soon as we get the temple from the relevant organs of the Federal Government.

“But the adjustment will be determined by our allocation from the Federation Account and accrual from the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).

“We would be very open to the unions and the public in our transaction so that together we would agree on the adjustment base on our financial capacity,’’ Sule stated.

The governor also vowed to be open in running the state and assured that his campaign promises would be fulfilled.
