Makinde approves N80k minimum wage for Oyo workers



Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo, has approved a minimum wage of N80,000 for civil servants in the state.

 

Dotun Oyelade, the state’s commissioner for information and civic orientation, announced this in a statement on Wednesday.

 

He said the minimum wage was recommended by the technical committee set up by the state government.

 

“The recommendation of the committee got approval from the governor for the implementation of the new salary scale,” the statement reads.

 

“This new scale will be implemented as soon as the consequential adjustments process is completed by the committee which comprises of government and top labour officials.”

 

The commissioner said the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) recently rated Oyo highly.

 

“The state was rated as the most worker-friendly state in the whole of south-west,” he said.

 

“This NBS rating was as a result of the significant decline in Oyo state unemployment rate following a series of high-pitched employment of workers into various sectors of the state.”

 

Oyelade added that workers in the state have always received their salaries on the 25th of every month since Makinde came into office in 2019.

 

He said the Makinde administration has paid the backlog of gratuities from 2008 to 2015.
