Francis Nwifuru, governor of Ebonyi, has approved N75,000 as the new minimum wage for civil servants in the state.

In a statement issued on Sunday by Monday Uzor, chief press secretary (CPS) to the governor, Nwifuru said the approval of the new minimum wage followed a review of the current economic situation in the country.
