The Lagos state governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, has revealed
that Lagos state is the first Nigerian state to implement the federal
government-approved minimum wage. He also denied an allegation by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
that Akinwunmi Ambode, the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag bearer
in Saturday’s gubernatorial election in the state, was sacked from Lagos
public service.
“He retired voluntarily after 27 years of meritorious service”
He also alleged that the PDP candidate, Jimi Agbaje, placed posters around the state secretariat, Alausa, promising to implement the national minimum wage and pay leave allowances to public servants if voted in.
This was all contained in a statement by Hakeem Bello, the special adviser on media to the governor, which claimed that the Fashola administration was not only the first to implement the minimum wage but also added to the N18,000 minimum wage across the board.
The Lagos guber elections will see the PDP’s Jimi Agbaje and the APC’s Akinwunmi Ambode fight to become Lagos’s next governor.
