I will Pay N30,000 as new Minimum Wage, Ajimobi assures Oyo State Workers

Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has assured the state’s workforce 

of his administration’s resolve to pay the N30,000 minimum wage recently approved 

by President Muhammadu Buhari without delay.

As soon as the ongoing negotiations initiated by labour leaders with the government were

 concluded and documented, the governor said that the enhanced salaries would be paid to 

elevate the living condition of the workers.
The governor stated this in a speech read by his Deputy, Chief Moses Adeyemo, at this 

year’s May Day rally, which was held at the Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Adamasingba, 

Ibadan, on Wednesday.

Thanking the workers for their dedication and support in the past eight years, the governor 

said that they were the engine room of his administration’s successful implementation

 of its restoration, transformation and re-positioning agenda.
He used the occasion to assure workers affected by the recently-concluded certificate 

verification that those with genuine cases would be given a second opportunity to prove 

their innocence, stressing that those unable to defend their credentials would not be spared.
Ajimobi said, “I congratulate the workers on the new minimum wage, which has just been 

approved by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“At the instance of the labour unions, government very recently held a meeting on the

 issue of the National Minimum Wage Law 2019, in furtherance of our responsibility as

 an employer of labour and indeed our exemplary government-labour relations.
“I wish to restate the commitment of the government of Oyo State to honoring the 

Minimum Wage Act as soon as ongoing negotiations are concluded and necessary 

templates and documentation are issued.
“I charge all workers to reciprocate the various good gestures of the state government by

 being more dedicated, proactive and punctual at their duty posts for increased productivity

. The public service is no longer a dumping ground for people with mediocre ability. We 

all must stand up and stand right to reposition the system for better service delivery.
“The state government has approved that those that were affected by the recently

 concluded Certification Verification Exercise be given a second chance to re-verify their 

claims. 

Those with very genuine cases would be reconsidered, because we have no interest in

 punishing innocent people.
“However, unscrupulous elements parading fake and forged educational, birth and other

 extraneous documents would not be allowed a place in the service of the state.”

The State Chairman, Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Emmanuel Ogundiran and 

his Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) counterpart, Comrade Titilola Sodo, called on the 

government to be prepared to fulfill its side of the bargain on the new minimum wage 

as soon as talks were concluded.
Sodo appealed to the government to provide a conducive environment and necessary

 tools for workers to enhance their productivity and wellbeing.

The traditional May Day rally was colourful by the attendance of representatives of 

various trade unions and associations, labour leaders, members of the state executive

 council, traditional rulers, captains of industry and members of the public.
