Chairman of NLC in the state, Kayode Martins, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ibadan while assessing Gov. Seyi Makinde’s performance during the first year of his second term in office.
According to Kayode, one of the major challenges faced by workers in the state and Nigeria in general is the attendant effects of petrol subsidy removal by President Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023.
He noted that upon the removal of the fuel subsidy, the federal government began the payment of ₦35,000 wage award for its workers while some states also agreed on various sums as wage awards to alleviate the sufferings of the workers.
