Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has promised to increase the new minimum wage recently signed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

He revealed this during a rally to mark the 2019 May Day celebration which held at the University of Benin Sports Complex in Benin City, the state capital.

Speaking on the theme, “Another 100 years of struggle for jobs, dignity and social justice in Nigeria,” the governor noted that the increment would take place if the workers work hard to increase the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the state.

My dear governor, if you want to increase IGR in edo state please appoint Barr Emmanuel Usoh as EIRS boss.

While improving your IGR, it will also be important to reduce cost of governance Mr Governor

Nice

Nigerian government is the biggest scammer.



The new minimum wage and the old minimum wage is the same thing? I wondered whether we have a labour Union in this country.

Price of fuel was 87 naira and minimum wage was 18,000 naira.
18,000÷87=206.8965517 litres ( meaning the minimum wage can only buy 207 litres of fuel)
30,000÷145= 206.8965517 litres (meaning the minimum wage can only buy 207 litres of fuel), exactly the same amount even to the last decimal point.

If I should put my hope on any governor able to pay this 30000 naira minimum wage then definitely it should be obaseki of Edo
That guy doesn't talk much but always do what is necessary

dat one concern una

Try and probe Osho baba, I believe the cash stolen during his regime will be enough to pay the new minimum wage.

All the governors don dey dodge this minimum wage things, the most annoying is this oyo state governor elect who has not even been swear in but he is already complaining about new minimum wage. Yet he was the same man who told oyo state civil servant that they deserve more than 30k minimum wage and that if elected, he will surely pay them the new minimum wage.

Nice move meaning if we achieve more we will all enjoy , these are standard practices In private companies. If we are doing well everyone will enjoy , if all governor's would look inward and generate revenue from the vast resources around them.

Tourism alone can sustain some state to earn higher than Lagos. Some states are blessed with wildlife , beautiful mountains, sea side , rare animals but no , all we do is destroy those natural beauty to build estates, kill the animals to meat .

When I see how much Kenya and other African countries make from tourism its scary cos we haven't even started.

Investigate Tony kabaka the man is a lose canon

But you collect millions / billions as egunje via security vote, contract padding via proxies, all all manner of fraudulent money via proxies into your pocket monthly / quarterly etc but to pay ordinary 30,000 naira which is not even enough as slave wage for civil servants in your state is a problem, now fúçk off to see Morocco / see Spain

Nice one bro, but it's the forex (foreign exchange) that's usually used as a yardstick for such analogy

Ur question shows u didn't understand the statement...read the headlines again with comprehension

n

he's telling the workers to forget about minimum wage using political and diplomatic language

Pay it first before talking of increase.

The fantastically corrupt Emmanuel Usoh dt embezzled EIRS fund. The properties he has in Benin, even his salary for 100 years won't be avle to get such properties. The man is higly corrupt. pls let us take sentiment aside.
