The governor elect of Oyo state, Engr Seyi Makinde has said that States, as independent federating units should have been allowed to determine the minimum wages of their individual states.
In a release by his spokesman, Prince Dotun Oyelade, the governor elect said in the particular case of Oyo state, a committee will begin parley with the leadership of the NLC from the first week in June to determine the extent to which government can implement not only the minimum wage, but indeed provide buffers for the workers to live decently.
The governor elect said that it will be futile for the opposition to attempt to twist the implications and meaning of the interview he granted in Abuja because it will amount to selective perception
He reiterated his promise that his administration will be workers’/ friendly
