Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State has approved the payment of ₦70,000 as the minimum wage to enhance workers’ welfare in the state.

This decision was made public by the state’s Commissioner for Finance, Dr Hauwa Nuru, in a statement on Saturday in Ilorin.

She said the approved wage would take effect immediately from October 2024, across the Kwara public service, including workers in the 16 Local Government Areas.

She also said the development followed a successful tripartite meeting between government representatives, labour leaders from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC), t Negotiating Council (JNC), and representatives from the organised private sector.

Nuru expressed gratitude to Governor AbdulRazaq for granting the committee full autonomy to reach a consensus beneficial to all parties.

She noted that the immediate implementation of the new wage underscored the governor’s proactive and worker-friendly approach, demonstrating his commitment to the welfare of public servants and citizens.

She said that the state government prioritised the well-being of its workforce and the general populace, fostering growth and prosperity for all in Kwara.

Nuru commended the collaborative spirit between the government and labour unions, which made the achievement possible, describing the new minimum wage as a testament to the state’s commitment to workers’ welfare.

Sometimes, I wonder where these evil Nigerian politicians learnt their witchcraft of wickedness and lack of empathy from, because these people are something else as they have more than enough money to loot and spend in extravaganza, but pay/reward the efforts of those working for you, it becomes a challenge !!

Am I supposed to praise this governor now (for carrying out his responsibility, the very reason he was voted in) or what !!?

Approval na normal, delaying and owning are what should be avoided after the approval

How is this trolling? I asked a question pertaining what the thread is about and you are calling me a troll. Everyone is a troll to you.

Yeye dey smell. Someone that couldn't pay even the previous wage in full and as at when due.

Atleast fair right now
Make people sef see better money chop

Because everything na food people dey use am buy

J

Fair enough

As they are increasing the workers salary, they should cut down on their own expenses. So many special advisers and assistants doing nothing etc.

Anyway, if you want to travel abroad but do not have the required bank balance to process your visa application, kindly check my profile.

Yes. You should praise him. Abia is richer than Kwara but Allex Otti is still paying 18k as minimum wage.

1000 times better than Abia that still paying 18k in the same economy.

Touche, that JB road construction is ongoing, something past governos neglected, Residents of PortHarcourt road in Aba are jubilating, Aba is wearing a fantastic fresh look just under 2 years, your propaganda stops at Ogbomosho where rottened brown roof scares even the witch, your pain and jealousy is highly welcomed
