The state’s Head of Service(HoS)Mr Oluwadare Aragbaye thanked the labour leaders for maintaining religious harmony noting that the state government would continue to prioritize the workers’ welfare.

Aragbaye said government had also approved 33 per cent for those who retired before 2014 and peculiar allowances for some workers Responding to the Joint Council.

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

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

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

You mean the same 30k that none of the governors from the east has paid?

So how much is a used wheelbarrow or a litre of kerosene?

Which state are you from?

Thank you my amiable Governor Akeredolu. You have proven to a dependable leader. Very proud of you.

Make the table public first before we know if we are to praise the government or not. Signing the minimum wage without revealing the table look suspicious..
