Jubilation as Ekiti govt pays N70000 new minimum wage to workers
It was a day of jubilation on Tuesday as public service workers across all categories in Ekiti State began receiving alerts for their December salaries, reflecting the newly implemented N70,000 minimum wage and its consequential adjustments.
Hundreds of workers, including permanent secretaries and directors, gathered at the Governor’s Office in Ado Ekiti, dancing and singing in celebration of the new salary structure.
The workers praised Governor Biodun Oyebanji for fulfilling his promise to implement the new minimum wage and adjustments for all public servants.
In response, Oyebanji, alongside Deputy Governor Mrs. Monisade Afuye and Secretary to the State Government Dr. Habibat Adubiaro, urged the workers to also express gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for enabling the state to adopt the new wage structure.
The governor said the minimum wage was made possible because of President Tinubu’s developmental reforms which ceded more funds to the states.
