Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, has
revealed that the delay in the release of the minimum wage template by the
National Salary, Income and Wages Commission is the only setback to the
implementation of the N30,000 minimum
wage for the workers in the country.
Ahmed made the disclosure in Ilorin on Wednesday in
his speech to mark the Workers’ Day celebration in the state.
Represented by the state Head of Service, Mrs.
Modupe Oyewole, the governor said the minimum wage template is the basic working
tool for the committee to determine the new minimum wage to be implemented by
government.
He explained further that the state government had
constituted a minimum wage reviewing committee to enable workers enjoy the new
salary as soon as implementation commences.
Ahmed assured the people of the state of the
determination of his administration towards ensuring better welfare for the
workers.
He also
commended the workers and the labour leaders for maintaining good working
relationship with the state government.
