“N30,000 is not enough for Workers as take Home.” – Obaseki

Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki has expressed that the N30,000 minimum wage will not be enough for workers as take home, as he called for the need to create and put in place things for the upcoming generation.

“N30,000 is not enough for workers as take home. funding of education, healthcare research institutions and other social services are critical functions of the states; functions that must be prioritised because it is foundational to the organisation and the development of the state”. He added that Nigeria does not need strong men but strong institutions.

“As we strive towards becoming a developed country, the first thing should be more on what we create not whom we create, more on things we put in place for the future generation to see and utilise much more than what will benefit us today,” Obaseki added.
