Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has approved the payment of twenty-five thousand naira for workers and fifteen thousand naira for pensioners as wage awards in the state.
The governor made the disclosure in the company of labour leaders from the Nigeria Labour Congress, Trade Union Congress and Joint Negotiating Committee on Monday, saying the payment will be for six months at an additional two point two billion naira to the wage bill of the state.
Recall that the Governor had earlier inaugurated an eleven-member ad-hoc inter-ministerial committee on the harmonisation of the demands of labour unions in the state.
The workers had stormed the Governor’s Office as part of a decision taken during a Congress on Monday to ensure the issue is resolved once and for all.
