Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the Ondo State Governor, announced the implementation of the N73,000 minimum wage for state government workers on Saturday, News About Nigeria reports.
The governor, who made the announcement while speaking during the kick-off of his campaign in Ondo town, Ondo State, ahead of the November 16 governorship election, assured the people of the state of his administration’s commitment to their welfare.
Giving details on the new minimum wage for workers in the state, Aiyedatiwa noted that despite the fact that the Federal Government approved N70,000 as the new minimum wage, “Ondo will go a step further by paying N73,000 to our workers.”
Speaking on the forthcoming Ondo gubernatorial election, Aiyedatiwa, who is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), urged the people of the state to convert their support into votes for the APC to ensure the continuity of developmental initiatives across the state.
The governor also promised that his administration would continue the good work they have already started.
He said, “On November 16, I urge everyone gathered here and those who are not present to convert your support into votes for the APC to ensure the continuation of our significant progress in the state.
“Based on reports and my personal observations, I am confident that you all want this administration to continue beyond 2024. I see the love and appreciation from you, and I do not take it for granted. The best way to demonstrate this love is to vote for continuity, which will bring even more dividends of democracy.”
