The organised labour in Ekiti State Wednesday encouraged the state Governor, Kayode Fayemi, not to defer the implementation of the N30,000 new minimum wage.
It charged the state government to pay its workforce immediately, as the pay bill has been marked into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The laborers, who said this in Ado Ekiti, amid the 2019 May Day festivity, anyway commended the senator for brief installment of compensations since he assumed office in October a year ago.
The Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC) Chairman in the state, Olatunde Kolapo, who said specialists in the private and open divisions would before long experience expanded pay rates, stated: “More than 20 states have shown their commitment and their readiness to pay the minimum wage. We therefore encourage Ekiti State Government to implement without re-negotiation.”
