In a significant move to address the concerns of casual employees, Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has approved a monthly salary of N80,000 for casual workers in hospitals across the state. This decision was made following a meeting with aggrieved workers from the Minna General Hospital, who expressed dissatisfaction regarding their employment status and compensation during a recent conversion exercise initiated by the governor’s administration.

Governor Bago articulated that this increase aligns the earnings of casual workers with the state’s approved minimum wage, thereby acknowledging their contributions to the healthcare sector. While this directive represents a positive step towards improved remuneration, the governor also clarified that it is not feasible to absorb all casual workers into the state civil service.

For those casual workers who hold degree qualifications and have served between 10 to 15 years, the governor announced that they will be granted automatic appointments. In contrast, workers with diploma qualifications will be appointed on probation, with the expectation that they will enhance their qualifications within a three-year timeframe.

This initiative underscores the administration’s commitment to promoting fair labor practices and improving the welfare of healthcare workers in Niger State, ultimately contributing to the betterment of the healthcare system as a whole.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth wing has voiced strong condemnation regarding the reported summoning of Mr. Chijioke Ezugwu, the Uzo-Uwani local government chairman, by the Enugu State police command. This follows recent violence in Uzo-Uwani, where suspected herdsmen have allegedly killed numerous residents, prompting local security efforts.

According to reports, Mr. Ezugwu was questioned regarding alleged killings of herdsmen. Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide President, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, has called the summon unacceptable, lamenting the perceived lack of police action against the alleged perpetrators of the Uzo-Uwani attacks while criticizing the swiftness in summoning the council chairman.

Mr. Okwu stated that the situation in Uzo-Uwani is underreported and severe, marked by frequent abductions and attacks. He criticized the police for allegedly failing to apprehend those responsible for violence, including the murder of an elderly couple. He further asserted that the police’s actions may be perceived as emboldening criminals. The group has urged the Enugu State Police Command to address these allegations. They warn that continued “harassment” of the council chairman could result in widespread protests by Igbo youths.
