In a statement on Thursday, Ibraheem Musa, chief press secretary to the governor, said the new minimum wage takes effect from November 2024.
Musa added that the governor is set to launch a free transportation scheme for workers, with 100 compressed natural gas (CNG) buses released for this purpose.
He said a joint committee consisting of representatives of organised labour in the state and the government will be set up to oversee the scheme.
