Ogun state governor, Ibikunle Amosun believes that the 18,000 minimum wage being paid to workers in the country is inadequate to sustain the average family.
His Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Dayo Adeneye revealed this today while speaking with TVC newcaster, Blessing Idahosa.
Adeneye noted that Ogun State is one of the few states in the country that pays N18,000 minimum wage and that if it had been possible, the governor would have loved to pay more.
Adeneye also revealed that the workers in the state enjoyed a 10% bonus this Christmas and were actually paid December salaries before Xmas day.
Recently, states in Nigeria have been unable to pay workers salaries promptly and some governors had to rely on a bailout by the Federal Government to pay backlog of owed remunerations.
