Ondo Workers Demand Minimum Wage Review Amid Economic Challenges
Workers in Ondo State are demanding an immediate review of the minimum wage to N256,950 due to the challenging economic conditions. The workers, through the NLC, highlighted the rising cost of living, removal of fuel subsidy, and inflation as reasons for the wage increase request.
