I Will Pay More Than The N30,000 Minimum Wage If I’m Governor – Sanwo-Olu

APC’s governorship candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has vowed to workers that his government was ready to pay more than the N30,000 minimum wage and also come up with policies to boost the welfare of the employees if he is elected.

The governorship aspirant also said the benefits that existed under Fashola, but was stopped under Ambode, was going to be brought back under his administration.

His words, “As part of the motivation, we will take the minimum wage above the level presented at the National Assembly. And the payment will not exceed the 23rd of every month. This is part of the welfare package we have for civil servants in Lagos.

“We will also ensure a car package for senior staffs that have attained directors’ status in the public service. We cannot allow workers that are required to stay back and work to start looking for bus to convey them home at night.

“On the staff bus, I discovered that civil servants now pay to repair the vehicle. When elected, our administration will replace the rickety vehicles for the staff. All these, we believe would motivate the staff to deliver in every task they have been mandated to do.”

“We cannot give you tool alone without training because they accompany each other. It is when we have done that the government can have an effective public service that drives the policies. “This we believe will make the workers have the required skill to perform the task of taking Lagos to greater height. And it will be considered an important issue by our administration.”

“Some of these retired workers have acquired skills over the years. The retirement has barred them from further rendering their service to the state but they are active. So, we cannot allow them take that skill away. This is why we have concluded that when we are elected, such plan would be implemented in the state.”
