Osun can not afford to pay workers the new minimum
wage – Oluwo of Iwoland.
The Oluwo of Iwoland,
Rasheed Akanbi has revealed that the Osun State Government does not have enough
money to pay workers the new minimum wage of N30, 000 approved by the FG.
Expressing concern about the
new minimum wage bill passed by the Senate, the Monarch said;
“Osun is sick. The governor,
Oyetola, may not be able to say this truth because he is a politician. But I am
a royal father. I should be good, to tell the truth always. It will be tough
for the state to pay the new minimum wage unless there is a complete overhaul
of the civil service.
“The current wage bill of
the state government cannot be sustained. The civil service needs an overhaul.
A situation whereby 26 drivers will be attached to two vehicles must stop.”
As part of ways out of the
situation, the royal father said unproductive civil servants must be made
productive by the government and be deployed where their skills would be
useful. He added, “Also, aggressive revenue generation through internally
generated revenue, especially from the informal sector, would be of help to
government.”
