CALABAR\u2014 Governor Liyel Imoke of Cross River State has said that the state would pay the N18,000 minimum wage and\u00a0 continue with the annual five percent salary increment, which the civil servants enjoy.<\/p>\n

Imoke, who disclosed this while receiving the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC,\u00a0 led by its President, Mr Abdulwaheed Omar, during a courtesy call in Calabar, said the state was obliged to pay in line with the stated structure through a well articulated readjustment, adding that the state would do its best not to be found wanting.<\/p>\n

He explained that the state had in the past four years been increasing civil servants\u2019 salaries annually and feels\u00a0 that if the new minimum wage was implemented, there must be the normal increment, adding that one challenge to development was indiscipline, which had to be addressed to enable the state undertake full commencement of the payment.<\/p>\n

Imoke congratulated Omar on his victory to serve another tenure and said that labour in the state had enjoyed cordial relationship with government because of its belief that the civil service was the engine room of government,\u00a0 which must be motivated to ensure full productivity for government to realise its vision.<\/p>\n

Mr Omar, who said his visit to the governor was a prelude to a retreat for the Congress\u2019 Administrative Council, explained that they opted for Calabar because it provides the best atmosphere for it to plan in line with the mandate given it by the people, adding that he was satisfied with the relationship which labour in the state shares with government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
