Mrs. Clara Bamisile, the Chairperson, Oye Local Government Area in Ekiti State, has commended Gov. Biodun Oyebanji for approving the N70,000 minimum wage for workers.
Bamisile gave the commendation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Oye-Ekiti on Monday.
She described the governor’s decision as the right step in the right direction towards reducing financial burden for civil servants and making the cost of living affordable for them.
According to her, Oyebanji has proved to all Ekiti indigenes that he is a good and compassionate leader who cares for the wellbeing of his people.
“I want to commend our amiable governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, for approving the N70, 000 minimum wage for civil servants in Ekiti.
“He has proved to all Ekiti indigenes that he is worthy, passionate, caring, and a good leader who is ready to make his people happy as we approach Yuletide.
“It is a testimony that our governor is ready to make the cost of living affordable for our people, and he will not relent to do more if given a chance.
She urged both Ekiti indigenes and residents to consider Oyebanji for a second term in office to continue his good works.
Bamisile, however, urged the civil servants to be diligent in their various departments to justify the salary increment by the state government.
