Minimum Wage: Makinde Setups Committee
The Executive Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has setup a committee to oversee the negotiation and implementation of the new minimum wage in the state.
Makinde who also noted that his administration was on the same page with the civil servants in the state, revealed that the committee was setup on Friday to oversee the negotiations and implementation of the new minimum wage.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Taiwo Adisa, disclosed this development in a press statement on Saturday.
The statement reads in part “On the minimum wage issue, yesterday [Friday], we set up the committee that will engage with the Nigeria Labour Congress.
The truth is, if we don’t deceive ourselves, everyone will be reasonable. NLC too knows that we are open with the amount of money we are getting as federal allocation. That is why we are in harmony.
“I have told them that we are going to get the matter resolved and they keyed into that because of the sincerity of purpose and transparency, they have found in this government. In fact, we know the cost-implication of the new minimum wage and the formula the Federal Government brought out on it.

“If we adopt it without negotiating, we know the amount that will still be needed to meet up. And we also put it on the table to them to analyse if Oyo State really can meet up with the amount that will be needed aside undertaking some other development projects in the state.
“One thing I can promise the people is, this is a new government, a new dawn and there is a new thinking between government and all other stakeholders, because we are all pulling in one single direction, which is delivering good governance and development agenda.”
