Osun State government has pledged its commitment to a sustainable implementation of the minimum wage in line with the administration’s five-point agenda.
The commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo stated this while responding to recent news reports on the nationwide implementation of the new minimum wage.
He disclosed that the state’s Minimum Wage Negotiation Committee set up by Governor Ademola Adeleke would soon complete its assignment for necessary approval by the governor.
