Adamawa Civil Servants Collect New Minimum Wage

Civil servants in Adamawa State have received their August salary with the N70,000 new minimum wage.

A driver at Government House, Yola, Alhaji Danjuma Mohammed, promised to enroll his children back to school who were hitherto withdrawn due to financial constraints.

“I’m glad to receive a N50,000 increase in my monthly salary. The funds would go a long way in alleviating my family’s suffering,” he said.

Usman lauded Governor Fintiri for being a man of his words by fulfilling his promise to the civil servants.
Another civil servant, John Yusuf working with Adamawa State Television (ATV), Yola, promised to use the salary increment to purchase fertilizers for his farm and foodstuff for his family.

“Governor Fintiri has put smiles on our faces with the new minimum wage implemented,” he remarked.
LEADERSHIP Sunday observed that the Jimeta Ultra-modern Market was full of customers mostly civil servants engaging in various forms of purchasing of goods for their families and loved ones.

Governor Fintiri had granted an approval for the payment of the new minimum wage beginning from August 2024, while that of the LG workers would begin in September.
