The Ekiti State government and the organised labour has reached an agreement on the misunderstanding surrounding the payment of minimum wage to certain categories of workers.


The Head of Service, Mrs Peju Babafemi led government officials to the meeting where both parties signed a new agreement on modalities adopted in the payment of the approved wage and consequential adjustment to workers.
