Governor Ododo further revealed that, in addition to the wage increment, the state government has suspended withholding tax deductions from civil servants’ salaries for the next year. This tax relief, he noted, will offer additional financial cushioning to workers, allowing them to retain more of their earnings during this challenging period. The decision is expected to benefit thousands of civil servants, from junior workers to senior officials, and is seen as a proactive step towards supporting their livelihood.
