THE Ekiti State government has announced that it will
not slash the minimum wage it is currently paying its
workforce despite the financial challenges.
Governor Ayo Fayose, who stated this, said to ensure
the smooth payment of the salaries, the state
government might de-centralise the state’s payment
system.
Governor Fayose, who disclosed this at the weekend
while speaking during a sensitisation tour of
Irepodun/Ifelodun and Ekiti South-West local
government areas, said the current minimum wage
of N18,000 was “grossly inadequate,” adding that
“any slash would not augur well for the workers and
their dependants.”
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the
Governor, Mr Idowu Adelusi, quoted the governor to
have said “the state government would work out
ways that the government and the labour unions
would agree on the mode of payment.”
He said the governor, who first visited Igede-Ekiti,
headquarters of Irepodun/Ifelodun council area, said
there was “no point hiding the financial situation of
the state government from the workers.”
He said: “I am enjoying your grace for returning me
to office and I am not going to take the grace for
granted. A governor who hides the true position of
things from his people is only deceiving himself. The
power of the people is greater than that of the leader.
“I won’t reduce workers’ salaries. The N18,000
minimum wage is even not enough. I will never hold
your money one day extra. The shortfall in the
bailout will be redressed,” he said.
The governor also added that a unit would be set up
in the Governor’s Office to look into complaints about
workers’ welfare.

We all know it's APC governors that are behind the whole brouhaha. They hate paying salaries. Always complaining about how workers' salary is always taking a huge chunk of their monthly allocation. Yet you see them going about in private jets and voting millions monthly for security votes. Let him talk, if he doesn't do, he'll be held accountable.

What a role model

The only yoruba man alive
One man battalion
General of stomach infrastructure
The king of the west

Apc governors pls come and I hear ds.
While oyo apc led governor is telling d people to either collect half salary or collect full a month and don't collect d following month, Fayose ur colleague is telling u d bitter truth u may not wanna hear.
Fayose is succeeding becus he doesn't rely heavily on contractors and by carrying his people along wit his visions for ekiti state.

Another bitter truth from Ayo Fayose

I am not familiar with Ekiti state. Can some one please tell me what Governor Fayose is doing to improve IGR?

What is doing about the cost of government?

vision ke, from sll indications
...he only serving recurrent costs...money dat can neva come back. wheres d vison...wheres d savings, where are d projects...ina view he is just postponing the death of his citizens...giving a man fish when he is hungry is diffetent from teaching him how to fish.

Unfortunately these governors clamouring for a reduction of workers salaries will dare not touch theirs and their political appointees!

APC goons, what sayest thou to this

searching4l0ve:

GEJ my Hero


Fayose my Role Model

Always seeking attention. After NGF meeting, it was both PDP and APC governors joint together saying dey can't pay. Still waiting for a pictural image of any project ever committed by Fayose apart from entering markets and doing road safety all over d state

Nope but always speaking d 2ru
