The Niger State Government has announced an increase in the minimum wage for state workers to N80,000, effective November. Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago made this announcement after a meeting with labor representatives in Minna. He assured that this new wage is sustainable, given the state’s growth in agriculture. The governor emphasized that establishing civil service farms aims to boost productivity among civil servants, potentially allowing for future wage increases.
Local government workers will also receive the new minimum wage, ensuring fairness across different administrative levels. Comrade Idrees Lafene, the Niger State Nigeria Labour Congress Chairman, expressed satisfaction with the governor’s offer, noting it exceeded labor expectations. However, he pointed out that while the wage increase is a positive step, it may still not fully cover the high cost of living, particularly the rising prices of essential goods.

Lafene remarked that although the N80,000 wage is an improvement, it does not completely offset expenses like the price of a bag of rice. This acknowledgment highlights the ongoing challenges faced by workers in Nigeria as inflation continues to impact their purchasing power. The increase in Niger State’s minimum wage reflects a broader struggle for economic balance, and as the government moves forward, continued support for workers will be crucial in addressing the economic pressures they face.
Governor Bago’s commitment to this wage increase demonstrates a proactive approach to improving the livelihoods of Niger State’s workforce, setting a potential example for other states. This wage adjustment aims to provide relief to civil servants and local government employees, fostering a healthier workforce amid ongoing economic challenges. If successful, this policy could inspire similar measures across Nigeria, encouraging a national conversation on fair compensation and worker support.
