Ondo State governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has announced the implementation of a new minimum wage of 73,000 for workers, stressing his administration’s commitment to the welfare of the people of the state.
The governor announced this yesterday at the flag-off of the Ondo Central senatorial district-leg of the gubernatorial campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo City ahead of the November 16 governorship election in the state.
Hon Aiyedatiwa said, though the federal government approved N70,000 as the new minimum wage, Ondo will go a step further by paying N73,000 to its workers.
Governor Aiyedatiwa addressed the large crowd of supporters, urging them to convert their backing into votes for the APC to ensure the continuity of developmental initiatives across the state.
“On November 16, I urge everyone gathered here and those who are not present to convert your support into votes for the APC to ensure the continuation of our significant progress in the state.
“Based on reports and my observations, I am confident that you all want this administration to continue beyond 2024. I see the love and appreciation from you, and I do not take it for granted. The best way to demonstrate this love is to vote for continuity, which will bring even more dividends of democracy,” he said.
The governor highlighted the achievements of his administration over the past 10 months, stating that, “We have initiated several important projects, including those started by the late governor. In agriculture, we’ve taken significant strides, boosting food production across the state.”
