Makinde To Pay Oyo Workers ₦80,000 As Minimum Wage

The Oyo State Government has approved a new minimum wage of ₦80,000 for its workforce.

“The Oyo State Government has been paying workers’ salaries on the 25th of every month since Governor Makinde took office in 2019.

“The governor began paying the previous ₦30,000 minimum wage from the start of his tenure over four years ago, including consistent payments of pensions, gratuities, and a 13th-month salary for both workers and pensioners alike.

“Since November 2023, Governor Makinde has been paying ₦25,000 to workers and ₦15,000 to pensioners as a welfare wage award. The Makinde administration introduced the wage award to cushion the effects of the Federal Government’s fuel subsidy removal and has remained consistent with these payments for over a year, even to this day,” Oyelade said.

The commissioner stated that Governor Makinde has cleared the backlog of gratuity payments for pensioners from 2008 to 2015, increasing gratuity payments for beneficiaries under both the Local Government Staff Pensions Board and those managed by the Ministry of Establishment and Training.

He further noted that the governor has reinstated pensioners whose names were removed by the previous administration and continues to provide an annual Christmas/New Year bonus in the form of a chicken for all pensioners.
