The Oyo State Government, on Wednesday, approved a minimum wage of N80,000 for its workers.
In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Dotun Oyelade, the technical committee set up by the government recommended and got approval from Governor Seyi Makinde for the implementation of the new salary scale.
Mr Oyelade said the new scale will be implemented as soon as the consequential adjustments process is completed by the committee, which comprises top government and labour officials.
He recalled that only last month, a Federal Government Agency, the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, in its latest employment statistics published for 2024, rated Oyo State as the most worker-friendly state in the whole of Southern Nigeria owing to a significant decline in Oyo State’s unemployment rate.
The commissioner said the achievement followed a series of high-pitched employment of workers into various sectors of the state.
