He said: "Governor Willie Obiano has ordered the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) agencies to redouble efforts in raising extra N1.4 billion that will ensure that the promise is kept.

“Obiano’s pledge in his address to civil servants during the electioneering period to be the first to pay the wage once approved is not a political statement. He remains committed to fulfilling the promise of being the first governor to pay the new wage once approved.

The head of state said that Obiano is working towards ensuring that the payments of workers’ salaries still remains the 25th of every month even with the introduction of the new minimum wage.

“The government is focused on making arrangements to move to the new minimum wage without having challenges in the legacy of the governor. Efforts are on to get additional revenue to sustain the practice of workers receiving salaries on 25th of every month,” he said.
