•will pay one month arrears (December 2019)
In fulfilment of my earlier assurances to the workers on the implementation of the New National Minimum Wage, I have adopted and approved the payment of the New Minimum Wage in Akwa Ibom State with the Federal Government Negotiated Consequential adjustment percentages increase with effect from January, 2020.
I have also approved one month arrears of the New Minimum Wage to be paid in subsequent months, after January.
In effect, with the payment of the approved one month arrears, payment of the new Minimum Wage in Akwa Ibom State covers December 2019.
I wish to appreciate our dear workers for their patience and understanding and urge them to reciprocate this gesture with dedication to duty to fast-track the actualization of the completion agenda.
Udom Emmanuel
Akwa Ibom State Governor.
