Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, on Wednesday commended
the ‘immense’ contribution of workers in the state to the development strides
recorded in the last two and the half years of his administration, noting that
their dedication, dexterity and focus in transforming the state deserve
commendation.
He restated the state government commitment to
paying the new minimum wage of N30,000, noting that modalities are already in
place to ratify the increase.
The governor said this in commemoration of the
Workers' Day celebration marked every May 1.
He said the state government was committed to the
welfare of workers and has demonstrated it with the reforms and revamp of
infrastructure to ensure a better working environment, work-life balance and
after service benefits.
According to him, "As we celebrate Workers' Day,
we appreciate the dedication, dexterity and steadfastness of Edo workers in
transforming the state. We reiterate our commitment to building a
globally-competitive workforce and commit to sustaining revamp of the civil
service.”
