Gov.
Mbah Extends Wage Award Payments.
Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has promised
continuous payment of wage awards to state workers until the committee on new
minimum wage concludes its work.
The governor pledged the Town Hall meeting with Enugu
people on Saturday at the Old Government House, Enugu.
The governor began the payments of the wage award of
between N10, 000 and N25, 000 to state workers last December to cushion the
effects of the fuel subsidy removal.
The town hall meeting was attended by representatives of
the Civil Society Organizations, women, students, youth, business owners,
traders, transport unions and others.
Mbah said his government would priorities workers’
welfare, adding that he would create values that would help workers to thrive.
The governor who added that his administration inherited
arrears of pension and gratuity of retired civil servants, explained that he
did not waste time in clearing them.
