The Ondo state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Monday, assured the workers in the state that the present administration is ready to pay N73, 000 minimum wage across the state.

Governor Aiyedatiwa addressed the large crowd of supporters, urging them to convert their backing into votes for the APC to ensure the continuity of developmental initiatives across the state.
He said, “On November 16, I urge everyone gathered here and those who are not present to convert your support into votes for the APC to ensure the continuation of our significant progress in the state.
“Based on reports and my personal observations, I am confident that you all want this administration to continue beyond 2024. I see the love and appreciation from you and I do not take it for granted. The best way to demonstrate this love is to vote for continuity, which will bring more dividends of democracy.”
The governor highlighted the achievements of his administration over the past 10 months, stating, “During my time in office, we have initiated several important projects, including those started by the late governor.
