Governor Agbu Kefas on Friday revealed that the office of the Head of Service of the state is working on the new national minimum wage table for implementation in the state.

Speaking with journalists shortly after signing the state supplementary budget, Kefas said, “It’s not an issue. I have said that once the Federal Government approves it, I will implement it. Our workers deserve the best.

“Already, the Head of Service and his committee are working to ensure the implementation, and as soon as they get back to me, I will approve it.”

Appending his signature on the supplementary budget in his office at the Government House Jalingo, Governor Kefas thanked the members of the Taraba State House of Assembly for the swift passage of the Bill, describing their attitudes as a display of understanding, support and pro-activeness in responding to his request.

Kefas assured that he will do all that is necessary to give all the people of the State the best leadership.

The governor added that he would be transparent in dealing with the issues of the finances of the State to ensure his administration achieves its lofty objectives.
