The Kwara State Government has signed an agreement with the leadership of the Joint Public Service Negotiating Council in the state tertiary institutions to commence payment of the new minimum wage to its members.

The State Head of Service, Mrs Susan Modupe Oluwole, led the state government team while the unions were led by the state Chairman of Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Issah Ore, to sign the agreement.

In her remark, the Head of Service expressed delight at the maturity, understanding, and patience exhibited by the parties involved in the negotiation.

She applauded Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq for his genuine concern for the welfare of the state workers, according to a statement by the Press Secretary to the Head of Service, Muritala Atoyebi, in Ilorin on Monday.

Oluwole noted that the Governor had consistently given priority to the regular payment of workers’ wages despite the dwindling income accruing to the state’s coffer, adding that some state governments that earlier implemented the new wage have again reneged.

She, therefore, implored workers in the state to re-dedicate themselves to duty by being forthright and hardworking to encourage the governor to do more for the service.

The NYC Chairman in his remark described the signing of the agreement as a landmark achievement in the Government /Labour relationship in the state.

He asserted that the Labour union in the state has been cooperating and showed understanding with the government on issues relating to workers’ welfare packages. Continue Reading
