The Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, has stated that Governor Chukwuma Soludo has no immediate plans to raise the minimum wage for civil servants in the state.

Mefor explained that the current minimum wage of N82,000 being paid remains in effect and that the government is focused on sustaining it while addressing other pressing developmental needs.

According to him: “We started paying N82,000 when most states hadn’t started paying even the new minimum wage and added N10,000 to all pensioners which no state has done.

Soludo remains a very workers- friendly governor. Once further increases become necessary in the state, you can be sure Governor Soludo won’t hesitate or wait for persuasions to give workers in the state another raise.

We have not engaged him on that but we have plans to engage him to make the demand”.

He stressed that the administration remains committed to the welfare of workers but urged patience as the state continues to manage its resources amid competing demands.
