The Oyo State Government has approved a minimum wage of ₦80,000 for the state workforce.

In a statement, the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, said the Technical Committee set up by the State Government recommended and got approval from Governor Seyi Makinde for the implementation of the new salary scale.

He added that the new scale will be implemented as soon as the consequential adjustments process is completed by the committee comprising government and labour top officials.

Oyelade recalled that only last month, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), in its latest employment statistics published for 2024, rated Oyo as the most worker-friendly State in the whole of Southern Nigeria owing to a significant decline in the state’s unemployment rate following a series of high-pitched employment of workers into various sectors of the state.

The Commissioner noted the State pays workers salaries on 25th of every month since Governor Makinde came into office in 2019.

He also said the Governor started paying the previous ₦30,000 minimum wage from inception over four years ago, including consistent payment of pensions, gratuities and 13th month salary for workers and pensioners.
