Local government workers are also slated to receive the new minimum wage from September 2024.
This move has been met with widespread jubilation among civil servants in the state, making Adamawa the first northern state to implement the new minimum wage.
The implementation of the new N70,000 minimum wage in Adamawa State has been confirmed by multiple sources who spoke with Daily Trust, including state workers who have received their updated salaries.
