Kogi State New Minimum Wage: Good News for Workers

The Kogi State government has announced a new minimum wage of 72,500 Naira for civil servants in the state. This is a welcome development and a significant increase from the previous minimum wage of 30,000 Naira.

The new minimum wage is a result of the negotiations between the state government and the organised labour in the state. The labour unions had been pushing for an increase in the minimum wage for several months, and they finally reached an agreement with the government.

The new minimum wage will take effect from October 2023. This will be a significant boost to the income of civil servants in the state and will help to improve their living standards.

The Kogi State government has also granted a one-year tax relief to workers in the state. This means that workers will not have to pay taxes on their income for one year. This will further help to boost the income of workers and will give them some much-needed financial relief.

The new minimum wage and the tax relief are a welcome development for workers in Kogi State. These measures will help to improve the living standards of workers and will boost the economy of the state.
