Niger to Spend N6.5b on Minimum Wage …Detects 4000 Ghost Workers
Headlines, Niger, State News Saturday, July 2nd, 2011
The 25 local government councils in Niger State would need a whopping sum of N6.5billion monthly to be able to pay the new minimum wage of staff and primary school teachers even as the state government detected 4000 ghost workers in the last staff audit.
This was coming on the heels of the disclosure that each of the 25 councils collected only N5millon each from the N2.6 billion accrued to them collectively from the federation account in last May allocation.
In a joint press briefing yesterday in Minna, the head of service Alhaji Ahmed Matane and the permanent secretary of ministry of local government Alhaji Adamu Aliyu Garfini maintained that the teacher’s salary monthly by the new minimum wage will be N3.8billion, while the local government staff salary would gulp N2.5 billion.
The new figure was against the old rate where local government councils staff’s salary only gulp N600million and the primary schools teachers salary only gulp N578.8 million monthly.
