The agitation for a new wage by civil servants in Oyo State ended on a happy note on Monday with the approval of N19, 987.14 minimum wage for the workers across board by Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
The workers were however mandated to work assiduously to improve on the internally-generated revenue (IGR) of the state in order to give the government the financial muscle to pay the new wage and at the same time deliver on its electioneering promises to the people.
This came as the governor disclosed his target of raising the state internally-generated revenue to N100 billion per annum to enhance the government’s ability to meet increasing expenditure which has been shot up by workers’ wages.
The strategies outlined by the governor to meet the target are - the upgrading of the Bola Ige International Market in Gbagi, review of vehicle registration, land use and personal tax.
Others include introduction of land use charge, signage charges, transportation system, recertification of business premises, improved title perfection process, quarry levy and agriculture tariff.
