Abia 2027: I’ll pay N90,000 minimum wage, recall unlawfully retired workers — Anosike

By Steve Oko

UMUAHIA — The 2027 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Abia State, Dr Kelechi Anosike, has promised to introduce a N90,000 minimum wage and review the cases of workers allegedly retired before attaining the statutory retirement age or years of service.

Anosike also pledged to ensure that graduates of tertiary institutions in the state acquire practical skills alongside academic qualifications if elected governor.

He made the promises while addressing journalists at the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Press Centre, Umuahia, saying his proposed administration would be guided by a “welfarist philosophy” with the people at the centre of governance.

The PDP candidate said workers who were disengaged before attaining the statutory retirement benchmarks would have their cases reviewed under his proposed administration.
