The Oyo State government will today open discussions with labour leaders on the modalities for the implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage, it was learnt yesterday.
It is coming on the heels of Governor Abiola Ajimobi’s promise to workers that they would enjoy the new pay as soon as the Federal Government approves it.
The minimum wage was signed into law by President Muhammad Buhari on April 18.
The government sent notice of the meeting to the labour leaders following the conduct of their congress, which produced Comrade Titiola Sodo as state chairman of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC).
The message was signed by the Information Commissioner, Mr. Toye Arulogun.
But, the Governor-elect, Seyi Makinde, cautioned Ajimobi’s administration against the negotiation.
