The organised labour in Ekiti state has rejected the decision of the State government to suspend the payment of consequential adjustment of the new minimum wage to workers in the state.
The unions also frowned at the government’s plans to review subventions to higher institutions, which they said would further worsen the economic life of the workers.
The state governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi had two weeks ago at a stakeholder meeting on the finance of the state said payment of the consequential adjustment for senior workers would be suspended and subventions to institutions review due to dwindling financial fortune of the state.
