Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has told workers of the FCT Administration that more work is expected from them.
The minister’s comment comes on the heel of the implementation of the N70,000 minimum wage in the FCT.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Wike stated this on Tuesday in Abuja, during the inspection of the ongoing construction of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal access road.
DAILY POST recalls that Wike’s approval for the payment of the minimum wage was contained in a statement by the acting Head of Civil Service in the FCT, Mrs Grace Adayilo.
The minister explained that the implementation was in fulfillment of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, to improve the welfare of workers.
“In line with that, we have also adopted the N70,000 minimum wage and approved the payment of the arrears as agreed with the labour union.
“I expect that the workers will also see this as a boost and be more committed for us to achieve the development that is required in the city.
“So, workers should not live like, oh, money has been paid. It means more work is expected from you,” the minister said.
