Governor Nwifuru
By CHARLES IWUOHA
Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru ,has approved the payment of N70,000 Minimum Wage to civil servants under the employ of the state.
Nwifuru, who made the announcement on Saturday at the grand finale of the Ojiji Izhi New Yam Festival 2024, said he has directed relevant government authorities to draft out modalities for the payment of the New Minimum Wage commencing in September.
The Governor, however, frowned at the lackadaisical manner at which government projects awarded as contract to prominent leaders of the state were handled, especially the housing estates at Izo Autonomous Community in Ishielu Local Government.
He gave a marching order to the Commissioner for Housing to ensure the painting of the houses immediately.
He further called on the people of Ebonyi State not to hesitate to report government projects suffering delay by contractors, even as he said anyone working against his government is working against the interest of Izhi-Nnodo Ekumenyi.
