Otti Approves 25% Salary Increase for Assembly Workers
The Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has approved a 25% increase in salaries for workers in the Abia State House of Assembly and the Assembly Service Commission.
The move comes after the implementation of the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure (CONLESS) for the parliamentary workers, marking Abia as the first state in the South-East region to adopt the framework.
The new salary structure, set to take effect from January 2027, is expected to improve the welfare of workers in the Assembly and the Assembly Service Commission.
However, the Foundation for Environmental Rights Action and Development (FENRAD) has called for the implementation of the approved 25% adjustment to be transparent, with adequate budgetary provisions, periodic salary reviews, and regular engagement with organised labour and civil society groups.
FENRAD's Executive Director, Comrade Nelson Nwafor, stated that good governance should be measured not only by infrastructure development and policy announcements, but also by the extent to which government decisions improve workers' living conditions, dignity, and economic security.
