The Oyo state governor-elect, Seyi Makinde, has said the state cannot pay the new national minimum wage of N30,000 just signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Makinde in a report in Tribune published on Wednesday, May 1, said the federal governments should have allowed states to negotiate the new minimum wage for their workers as the condition of living varies from state to state.

Makinde told reporters in Abuja after attending the induction programme for returning and newly elected governors that he intends to negotiate with the Oyo state branch of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) because the state could not afford to pay the amount.

He said the federal government lacks the power to impose a national minimum wage of states since Nigeria is a federation.

Well he probably wants to pay more than that I mean 30k is too small naaaah

But u can pay yourself all entitlements and security votes and not leave or skip a single month salary for yourself

Then act like a real man and resign, you criminal!

It is well with the state workers and the good people of Oyo State.

Naija Mata tire me

.Hahahahahaha my Oyo people revolted against Mr Constituted Authority & APC because of arrogance and all that, they ended up with Mr Seyi with high expectations etc If you are still living in the illusion that this politicians care you are really day dreaming. They are all scam, all na merry go round.

Imagine the insensitive statement coming from a governor -elect...oyo state is in for it BIG TIME!

Oyo state have not seen anything yet, this man is well known for owing workers' salary. His workers at MAKON Engineering (oil and gas) are being owed 6 months salary.
Even when Shell Petroleum (client) pays, he will still claim that there is no money to pay the meager salary the staff is receiving.

A society will always get the leader they deserve.

But u can move around with more than 12 cars all over ur state

Nonsense

God have Messi on Nigeria even on this day that the Messi himself will be merciless

Then pay old maximum wages salary in peace

Resign

Although he is right that Oyo state standard of living is probably cheaper than most states in Nigeria.

Lol. While on campaign train, he promised he would pay the minimum wage because he has no godfather he will be sending money to. Now the story has changed.

Hahahahahaha my Oyo people revolted against Mr Constituted Authority & APC because of arrogance and all that, they ended up with Mr Seyi with high expectations etc If you are still living in the illusion that this politicians care you are really day dreaming.
