The Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodimma, has approved a new minimum wage structure of N104,000 for civil servants in the state. The announcement was made during a meeting with representatives of the state’s labour force at the Government House, Owerri.

Governor Uzodimma further disclosed that medical doctors in the state’s civil service will now receive a monthly salary of N533,000. He explained that the upward review of wages was made possible through improved internally generated revenue as well as increased federal allocations.

According to the governor, the revised wage structure is not only aimed at improving the welfare of workers but also at stimulating the state’s economy, boosting morale, and enhancing productivity across the public sector.

In addition, Governor Uzodimma announced that his administration has earmarked N16 billion for the settlement of outstanding gratuity arrears owed to pensioners in the state, reaffirming his commitment to addressing the welfare of retirees alongside that of active workers.
