The Kaduna State Executive Council on Monday approved that
payment of the new national minimum wage and consequential
adjustments to civil servants should begin from September 1,
2019.
“Kaduna State will implement the new national minimum wage from
September 2019,” the state government had tweeted via its verified
Twitter handle @GovKaduna.
A Press release signed by Mr. Muyiwa Adekeye, the Special
Adviser to the Governor (Media & Communication), reads in
part:
“Guided by the twin principles of ability to pay and
sustainability, the government considered several scenarios,
bearing in mind the trend of internally generated revenues and
allocations from the federation account.
“Several salary scenarios were considered, and one option was
identified as most prudent. A final decision was suspended as
negotiations for a new national minimum wage appeared to gather
momentum. It was reactivated after the Federal Government announced
the new national minimum wage in April 2019.
“Paying the new national minimum wage and consequential
adjustments will increase the wage bill of the Kaduna State
Government by 33%. Gross monthly salary outlay will rise to
N3.759bn from the current N2.827bn.
“This almost N1bn monthly increase in the wage bill means that
salary and pension commitments will take the lion’s share of state
government expenditure. Meeting these salary obligations while
meeting development objectives for citizens will further raise the
pressure to expand and deepen revenue sources and collections.
“According to the new wage structure, the lowest paid workers in
the civil service enjoyed increments of as much as 67%.
Middle-ranking officers from Grade 10 to 14 were awarded increments
of 60%.”
