 Imo State Governor Increases Minimum Wage for Doctors and lecturers


Governor Uzodimma made the announcement on Tuesday night during a meeting with labour union leaders at the Government House, Owerri.


According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), The governor has approved upward reviews in health and educational sectors. The minimum wage for doctors was raised from ₦215,000 to ₦503,000, while that of lecturers in tertiary institutions was increased from ₦119,000 to ₦222,000.
