0

The Osun State Government has announced that the newly approved minimum wage of N75,554.20 for civil servants will take effect from December 1, 2024. This follows successful negotiations between the state government and organized labor unions. In addition to the wage increase, the state has approved a N25,000 addition for all pensioners, with the arrears of the new minimum wage to be paid alongside the November salaries for workers. Osun’s Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, emphasized that the move reflects Governor Ademola Adeleke’s commitment to a motivated and satisfied workforce. He highlighted the government’s focus on workers’ and retirees’ welfare. Osun’s Deputy Governor, Kola Adewusi, praised the governor’s leadership, encouraging workers to reciprocate by improving service delivery and productivity. A circular dated November 29, 2024, also outlined the new wage structure and improved pension package, reinforcing the government’s efforts to address outstanding issues affecting pensioners. The circular stressed that the increase was the result of thorough negotiations and careful consideration of the state’s finances.
