WATCH THE VIDEO HERE THE State Government has approved a minimum wage of ₦80,000 for the State workforce. Disclosing this in a statement on Wednesday, the State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Dotun Oyelade, said the Technical Committee set up by the State Government recommended and got approval from Governor Seyi Makinde for the implementation of the new salary scale.
He added that the new scale will be implemented as soon as the consequential adjustments process is completed by the committee comprising government and labour top officials.
Oyelade recalled that, only last month, the National Bureau of Statistics, in its latest employment statistics published for 2024, rated the state as the most worker-friendly in the whole of Southern Nigeria due to a significant decline in the state’s unemployment rate, following the high-pitched employment of workers into various sectors of the state.
“The Oyo State Government has been paying workers’ salaries on the 25th of every month since Governor Makinde took office in 2019.”
