The Ebonyi State Government has approved N10,000 as addition to the current salary of workers in the state, as part of efforts to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal by the federal government.
Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr Chikadibia Okpor, said the approval was given by Governor Francis Nwifuru during the weekly State Executive Council (SEC) meeting on Friday at the Government House, Abakaliki.
”The issue of workers’ salaries was raised and deliberated by Exco. The sum of N10,000 will be added to every worker’s salary in the state to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal,” Okpor told newsmen.
