Casual hospital workers across Niger state would now receive a monthly salary of N80,000.
Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umaru Bago approved during a meeting with aggrieved casual workers in response to complaints from casual employees at the Minna General Hospital regarding their employment status as they said have been short-changed, during a recent conversion exercise embarked upon by his administration.
“Casual workers with degree qualifications who have served 10 to 15 years will receive automatic appointments, while those with diploma certificates will be appointed on probation, with the expectation that they upgrade their qualifications within three years,” he said.
Bago emphasized that this decision ensures casual workers receive compensation in line with the state’s approved minimum wage, however, noted that absorbing all casual workers into the state civil service isn’t feasible.
