NLC confirms Osun new minimum wage

Arapasopo expressed gratitude to the governor for his commitment to improving workers’ welfare, stating that “The Organised Labour in Osun State and the Government, after exhaustive deliberations, have decided on N75,000.00 as the new minimum wage in Osun State.” This new wage is expected to relieve civil servants who have been struggling with the current economic challenges.

It’s worth noting that neighbouring states, such as Ekiti, have also approved new minimum wages. Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji approved a minimum wage of N70,000 for workers in the state, effective December 1. This trend suggests that state governments are taking steps to address the economic challenges faced by their workers.

The new minimum wage in Osun State is expected to take effect immediately, and workers eagerly anticipate its reflection in the coming payroll cycle. With this development, Osun State workers can look forward to improved financial stability and a better quality of life.
