GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that the Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has approved the payment of the new national minimum wage of ₦70,000 to civil servants in the state, starting from August.

This development was announced by Comrade Emmanuel Fashe, the state Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), after a closed-door meeting with the governor at the state Government House.
