Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, yesterday said that his administration is working towards implementing the new minimum wage.

The governor, who spoke at a meeting with labour leaders at the Governor’s Office in Abeokuta, said the state workers have been instrumental in the rapid economic growth the state is witnessing.

He promised the union leaders that the state would not lag behind in the implementation of the new minimum wage.

He said: “On the new minimum wage, all hands are on deck working assiduously, and I am sure that as always, we will not be number two in the implementation of the minimum wage.

“I have told my team that we should roll up our sleeves; we should work as hard as we can without putting undue pressure on our people.

We should be creative, more efficient, block loopholes and increase our revenue so that we can afford to pay the new minimum wage comfortably, and by the grace of God, we will not be second in terms of implementation.”
