If elected, Dr. Ayodele Olorunfemi, the Labour Party’s (LP) candidate for governor of Ondo State, has pledged to establish a minimum salary of N120,000 for all workers in the state. Olorunfemi made this pledge in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, according to the Daily Nigerian newspaper. She said that workers who are paid properly are typically more productive than those who are not.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
“As at 2023, when we were campaigning, we assured our people that LP would be paying a minimum of N80,000 minimum wage in Ondo. That was before the economy got to where it is today. With the situation in the market now, looking at the cost of living, if this state is put under our control, we shall not pay anything less than N120,000 as minimum wage,” he said.
Olorunfemi believes that this move will motivate workers to be more productive, leading to an increase in the state’s Internally Generated Revenue. He also plans to engage more workers in the state and construct a dry port to boost business and the economy. “We want our workers to be productive so that more wealth can come to the state,” he added.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
