The Ebonyi State Government has raised the minimum wage for state civil servants from N70,000 to N90,000.
According to the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Chief Ikeuwa Omebe, this increase is effective immediately and applies to all categories of state workers.
In a press briefing, Chief Omebe described the wage increase as a way to “enhance workers’ welfare,” stating that it is “not a political statement.”

He also announced that the government has paid “pension and gratuities of state retirees from its creation in 1996 to date.”
The “verification process for retirees in the Local Government Areas” has begun, and “when completed, the payment will be made.”
Omebe added that the state “EXCO” has also approved the “implementation of the eighth-year tenure policy for directors,” which will result in the immediate “retirement of those who have served for the period on the same cadre.”
He concluded that the “EXCO exhaustively deliberated on the issue and approved its implementation for the affected permanent secretaries and directors.”
