On Saturday, October 12, 2024, Aiyedatiwa announced a minimum wage of ₦73,000 for Ondo civil servants.
The governor, who is the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming election said the ₦73,000 new minimum wage was part of his promises to ensure workers in the state enjoy the dividends of democracy and live a better life.
However, the PDP has opposed the promise, describing the salary offer as a ‘Greek gift.’
