Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state has said that his administration would pay above the new minimum wage of N30, 000 mínimum wage if the workers increased their productivity and Internally Generated Revenue(IGR).
Obaseki said he would increase the minimum wage above N30, 000 as he was ready to pay for hard work and productivity.
Obaseki, who spoke at the 2019 May Day rally at the University of Bénin Sports Complex, assured he would commence immediate payment of the N30, 000 minimum wage.
He stated that a joint team of labour and government would be constituted to formulate modalities for payment even though the guidelines for payment was yet to be released by the National Salary and Wages Commission.
