Implementation Committee with a one-month deadline to finalize how the new wage
will be executed.
The committee, chaired by the
State’s Head of Civil Service, includes the Accountant General of the State,
the State Chairman of the Joint Public Service Negotiating Council, and the
State Chairmen of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress, and the
Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, among others.
Ini Ememobong, the State

Wednesday, describing it as “a reflection of the state government’s commitment
to improving the welfare of its workforce.”
