Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State approved the payment of a minimum wage of N73,000 to state workers.
Aiyedatiwa stated that his administration went above and above the federal government’s approval of N70,000 by providing N73,000 to workers as a demonstration of its dedication to the people’s welfare.
The governor made the announcement on Saturday during the launch of the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial campaign’s Ondo central senatorial district leg in Ondo City, the state’s headquarters for the Ondo West Local Government Area, ahead of the state’s upcoming off-cycle governorship election.
Governor Aiyedatiwa said:
“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 personal 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.”
“During my time in office, 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. We’ve also approved over a billion naira for land clearing and launched various rural road construction projects to facilitate our farmers’ activities and improve productivity in rural areas.”
