Governor Obaseki had on Monday announced the increase of minimum wage of workers in the state to N70,000 monthly from the previous N40,000.
Oshiomhole, former President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and former governor of Edo State, in a media interaction commended Obaseki for the decision, noting that the Edo STate governor was his Economic Adviser when he was governor of the state; and has continued with the tradition he established.
