Nothing fit satisfy human being, you nor do, you wicked, you do, they propound theories!!

If we look deep now, you are not from the state or a member of the workforce!! Just angry for no good reason!!!

He may be a bad belle. But, Oshiomole should pay my mum her pension and gratuity. She last received her pension May, 2015.

bad belle

abeg park well. Why is he doing it when the state's finance is in dire strait and when he is about leaving office. He is setting up his successor.

If he is to be sincere with himself as a former NLC head, he shouldn't be doing it at the end of his 8yrs rule

No he is not. Edo state remains one of the few states where salaries are paid promptly.

The minimum wage in Nigeria is very low. Nigeria can literally steal production market from both China and India if we could solve the electricity problem.
With which technology? China is able to control the worlds manufacturing not due to cheap labour only, but also because it has the technology required for such ventures.

A state begging for bailout fund from FG
A state enmeshed in huge local and foreign loan.
What a clown governor, what a fraudulent short-man-devil. Anyway, na APC style of governance. Fraudulent style. undecided
Don't say what you don't know because you want to be heard. Oshiomole is not owing ANY worker in Edo state. He pays before month end while still continue building state infrastructure.
This is not bayelsa.

No public officer is a saint and I'm not speaking for any of them. But most (if not all) of Nigeria's problems will be solved when the citizens learn to give credits to whom it's due, and to condemn those that deserve condemnation.

Which countries do you think built those technologies in China? All it takes is for the western and Japanese companies to move their Tech to Africa. It would be much cheaper logistically (Closer proximity to North America and Europe), in manufacturing and labour cost. Anyways, there are many articles on this market shift happening in the near future.

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State on Sunday announced a new minimum wage of N25,000 with effect from May 1, 2016 for workers.

Oshiomhole who was addressing a rally organised by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), to mark this year’s Workers’ Day at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin, announced the increment from the present N18, 000 minimum.

“With effect from today, the new minimum wage for government workers shall now be N25,000, and the new minimum wage ‎will cut across board”, the former trade union leader said.

The workers who before the announcement had expressed dissatisfaction over their poor welfare jumped for joy and happily marched in appreciation of the new minimum wage as announced by the Governor.

Earlier in their respective speeches, the Chairman of NLC, Comrade Emma Ademokun and his TUC counterpart, Comrade Ohue Marshal, had expressed concern over a number of problems affecting Nigerians.

Some of them are the persistent scarcity of petroleum product, epileptic power supply and illegal electricity tariff increase.

They also mentioned spiralling increase in cost of living, insecurity, kidnapping, rampaging herdsmen, Boko Haram, irregular payment of salaries resulting in accumulation of arrears, growing rate of unemployment with the attendant social vices‎.

The Workers’ Day rally was however marred with low turn out of workers.

The new wage minimum wage comes at a time no fewer than 27 states in Nigeria are finding it difficult to pay workers.

[size=18pt]Still very poor. An average single Nigerians, not married, spend nothing less than one thousand naira a day without house rent, just on feeding, transportations and miscellaneous . This increment is still not enough and therefore useless.[/size]

what are other richer states paying? If u don't have any good thing to say about some one! JUST SHUTTTTTAP

Oshio Baba,controlling the charged political atmosphere of Edo state with his magic wands ..right step taking in the right direction,those asking funny questions here are simply exhibiting high sense of ingratitude. Even in this season of low revenue one would have been right to say it is a wrong time to agitate for wage increase. Aregbe reduced the wages of his state staff..nobody asked stupid question or made funny comment. God bless you Mr Governor for setting the pace for others to follow.

It is not good news to the workforce of Edo State alone, but to the entire labour of Nigeria, knowing fully well that some where, some how their welfare could still be attended to.
Good one from Comrade Governor.
Hope some of the Governors will follow suit. But, I doubt it.

Adams oshimole has no option, but to ensure that workers also enjoy the dividends of democracy, After all 25 thousand is not enough to even cater for a hon member takless of a chairman,so why the noise. Twenty five thousand naira is not even sufficent for a University student, talkess of a worker who has a family to feed,one of the major functions of Govt is to provide, so why d noise

U really don't know how the manufacturing sector operates. Let me try and enlighten you a bit.
1.) if i have a company and my team of engineers have developed a product,
2.) i build a prototype of the product to test how it functions.
3.)i outsource the mass production to a manufacturing plant that specializes in that sector(if i don't own a factory).
4.)the factory mass produces the product to specifications and send to me
5.)i market my product.
Note the factory must already have the technology to translate my design to an actual product
Foxconn one of the largest chinese manufacturers produces mobile phones for apple, samsung and other major mobile phone companies. It is a full fledged chinese company established by chinese business men.
Also there are many asian countries with cheaper labor and good power supply why have they not taken over manufacturing from china?

oshiomole will leave office in a couple of months he thinks he is smart let see if the incoming govt can pay. It is a good development but he could have done it months ago.
Re: Oshiomhole Increases Minimum Wage To N25,000 by sunch(m): 6:58pm On May 01, 2016
It is just easily said than done, it should aswell be immediately approved and gazetted, otherwise, it will be a ploy to win back the state workforce to his side. Moreover the ministries are empty without staff and an aged workforce calling for replacement or the state civil service will be near collapse as those that ought to train will soon be retired
