Governor Abdulrazaq acknowledged the invaluable contributions of workers to the socioeconomic growth and development of the state, stating, "Today, we recognise the invaluable contributions of workers to the socioeconomic growth and development of our state.
In a recent address to workers on the 2024 May Day celebration in Ilorin, Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq announced plans to implement a new minimum wage for workers in the state. This development comes as part of the government's efforts to cushion the effects of the current economic challenges triggered by the removal of the fuel subsidy.
Governor Abdulrazaq acknowledged the invaluable contributions of workers to the socioeconomic growth and development of the state, stating, "Today, we recognise the invaluable contributions of workers to the socioeconomic growth and development of our state." He also commended the organised labour and workers in Kwara state for their support, understanding, and resilience, adding, "I appreciate their bold embrace of the future with hope, even as they diligently contribute positively to the development of our state. We do not take that for granted."
The governor highlighted the various measures the state government has taken to mitigate the effects of the fuel subsidy removal, including:
- Introduction of a monthly transport support (wage award)
- Staggered working days
- Implementation of promotion and other welfare packages to strengthen workers' spending powers
- Rollout of different layers of support to the general public
Governor Abdulrazaq assured workers that the state government will continue to review its responses within current realities, including the implementation of another minimum wage, as soon as all processes have been concluded. This announcement has brought hope to workers in the state, who have been facing economic challenges in recent times.
The governor's commitment to providing good and sustainable governance to the people of Kwara state is a welcome development, and workers are eagerly awaiting the implementation of the new minimum wage.
