Ekiti Government has signed an agreement with organised labour on the implementation of minimum wage and consequential adjustment for workers in core civil service and local government service as well as judiciary and health workers in the state.
The implementation of the consequential adjustment commenced in January 2021.
The new development is a product of a series of meetings between labour leaders and government negotiation team as well as meetings with Governor Kayode Fayemi at the tail end of last year.
In the new agreement which was jointly signed by the government negotiation team and labour leaders in the state on Tuesday, it was agreed that the salaries of officers in the civil service be adjusted.
