The Ondo State government and her labour unions on Saturday agreed on payment of the N30,000 new minimum wage starting from January this year.

This was after a series of negotiations between the government and labour leaders.

The labour unions led by the NLC, JNC and TUC agreed on full payment of the new wage from level six downwards, while level seven above had experienced consequential adjustment.

The state’s head of service, Mr Oluwadare Aragbaye, thanked the labour leaders for maintaining harmony noting that the state government would continue to prioritise workers’ welfare.

Aragbaye said government had also approved 33 per cent for those who retired before 2014, and peculiar allowances for some workers.

Responding, the Joint Council chairman, Oyesanmi Ilesanmi, NLC chairman, Sunday Adeleye and his counterpart from TUC, Comrade Helen Odofin, appreciated the state government for regular payment of salaries and allowances since 2017.

The labour leaders also cautioned against retrenchment or downsizing of workers under any disguise and solicited for the recruitment of more workers in the state’s civil service.

Aragbaiye signed the agreement on behalf of government,while the JNC chairman, the NLC chairman, and the TUC chairman signed for the organised labour and workers.

So you don't want him to pay because of election? Election or not, Akeredolu has been very enthusiastic about workers' Welfare in Ondo State. When he came in about 3years ago, workers in the state were being owed 6 months salaries and pension, today, everything has been cleared while paying salaries as and when due.

Akeredolu is the only Governor we've had in Ondo State that doesn't joke with workers salaries.
