Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson told civil servants on Wednesday the National Incomes and Wages Commission was delaying the payment of the newly-approved N30, 000 minimum wage.
Dickson, however, assured workers that his administration had been at the vanguard of agitation for the new wage saying he was ready to pay the minimum wage. “We will pay N30, 000 minimum wage but you have to wait for the national income and wages commission. There is no way we can come and pay when we have not seen the modalities worked out as they affect every cadre.“So, that is what we will do on that matter. We have agreed in principle to pay. But right now if I call you to a debate on how it will affect level 10, level two and level 17, you won’t know.
Dickson said his administration had scheduled many training and retraining of workers adding that more teachers would be employed in the educational sector of the state.
