He further assured that the state government will implement the N48,000 national minimum wage if approved for workers across the country. “We have given a directive to various unions to mobilize their members for the strike action. “Our Governor has said it including yesterday’s meeting with us that he will pay whatever salary structure reached in the agreement over new national minimum wage,” he said. Meanwhile, the state TUC Chairman Mike Nwonu, said his union will also join the strike. Recall that Governor Umahi yesterday directed that if the national body of NLC calls for workers strike, workers in Ebonyi should join.
