Governor Monday Okpebholo has raised the minimum wage for workers in Edo State from ₦70,000 to ₦75,000 in a bid to improve their living standard.

The governor made the announcement while delivering his May Day speech at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, Edo State, on Thursday, May 1.

“Today, I am proud to announce that our administration has approved a new minimum wage of N75,000 per month for Edo workers.

“It’s our way of saying thank you, Edo workers. We believe this will make a real difference, and in return, we count on your renewed dedication as we build a better Edo together.

“Since assuming office, my administration has remained fully committed to the welfare of our workers. One of our first actions in office was to convert many casual workers, including over 1,000 cleaners who, for years, had no job security, into the core civil service, giving them stability and peace of mind.

“We hired 500 new teachers to ease classroom pressure and help students learn better. We are also reviewing the casual position of over 3,000 Edo State teachers for possible full employment because their effort will shape our children’s future,” he said.

“We approved the recruitment of 450 clinical and non-clinical staff for our State hospitals and regularized 126 contract staff at the Edo State Specialist hospital. These steps not only strengthen our health system but also improve job stability for health professionals,” the governor added.

The governor also informed the public that his administration had cleared outstanding salary arrears owed to Edo State Polytechnic staff, among many other steps taken to improve workers’ lives.

He added, “In the judiciary, we ensured that judges whose appointments were delayed were properly sworn in and are now fully carrying out their duties.

“To show our commitment doesn’t end at retirement, we have also approved health insurance coverage for our retirees because we believe that our responsibility to workers doesn’t end when they leave active service.”
