As Workers in Abia State like their counterparts across the Nation await the payment of the new minimum wage, the state Government says it is working closely with the leadership of Nigerian Labour Congress NLC to work out modalities for the payment of the new national minimum wage of seventy thousand naira.
Governor Alex Otti who revealed this during his monthly media chat stated that while the state government team works with the NLC on the modalities, it still awaits further clarifications from the Federal government.
Governor made public that his administration is at the point of digitizing all government activities and has hired a professional who will launch Abia public service in the digital world for a seamless operation.
Speaking on the conduct of local government elections, he assured that the time table for local government election will be out as soon as some legislative matters are put in place.
On Security issues, Governor Otti noted that remarkable improvement has been attained owing to the gallantry operation of the “Operation Crush Outfit” who are working round the clock to smoke out criminals from all nooks and crannies of the state.
The Governor vowed to ensure that his administration continues to adopt measures that will keep improving the living standards of the people, particularly in areas such as Health, Education, Agriculture, digital economy among others.
