Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke on Friday approved December 2024 as the implementation date for the new minimum wage of N75,554 earlier approved, with a payment of 1 month arrears to the state public servants.

In addition, the sum of #25,000 has been approved across board for the pensioners in Osun State.

The signing of the implementation of the minimum wage has just been completed by the combined team of the state government and the state labor leaders.

According to the Deputy Governor who represented Governor Adeleke, Prince Kola Adewusi, “In line with the avowed commitment of the present administration to the welfare of workers across the entire gamut of the public service in the State, the Governor, Senator (Dr.) Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, has graciously approved the implementation of the new minimum wage of #75,554.28 for all categories of employees of Osun State Government, including Local Governments.

“This development, which is a further affirmation of the topmost priority accorded workers and pensioners in the 5 point Action Plan of the administration, is geared towards ensuring a productive public service that will ultimately bring about efficient and effective service delivery across the State.

“In the same vein, the Governor has magnanimously approved an improved pension package of twenty five thousand Naira (#25,000.00)) only across board to pensioners in the State. This development is in consideration of the plight of our senior citizens and the need to take care of all outstanding issues affecting pensioners in the State.

“To this end, all Public Servants in the State, including Local Government employees, are enjoined to reciprocate the kind gesture of Mr. Governor by working hard with renewed vigour and agility to improve on the current level of service delivery and revenue generation while maintaining a high level of commitment and dedication to duty”.
