BOMBSHELL!!! “Osun State Is Sick And Can’t Afford To Pay The New Minimum Wage”- Flamboyant Monarch Declares

Rasheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwoland, and also a glamorous Nigerian monarch, has said the Osun State Government might not be able to sustain its current wage bill let alone pay the new N30, 000 minimum wage unless it overhauls the civil service.

According to report, The monarch said the state civil service was over- bloated and needed a complete overhaul.

“Osun is sick. The governor, Oyetola, may not be able to say this truth because he is a politician. But I am a royal father. I should be good to tell the truth always. It will be tough for the state to pay the new minimum wage, unless there is a complete overhaul of the civil service.

“The current wage bill of the state government cannot be sustained. The civil service needs overhaul. A situation whereby 26 drivers will be attached to two vehicles must stop,l” the monarch said.

As part of ways out of the situation, the royal father said unproductive civil servants must be made productive by government and be deployed where their skills would be useful.

“Also, aggressive revenue generation through internally generated revenue, especially from the informal sector, would be of help to government,” he added.

MouthpieceNG recall that many states are still struggling to pay N18, 000 to the least paid workers.
