By Victor Akinkuolie, Ado-Ekiti

Local Government Sector Commanders of the Ekiti State Peace Corps have expressed their gratitude to the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, for including officers and men of the security outfit in the N70,000 new minimum wage payment.

The Ekiti State Government began payment of the new minimum wage to workers across all cadres in December 2024, following Governor Oyebanji’s approval.

In a letter of appreciation addressed to the Governor, the commanders applauded his worker-friendly policies, particularly the recent integration of the Peace Corps into the state’s workforce.

According to the letter, the inclusion of the new minimum wage in their December salaries was a welcome surprise, which they described as significantly improving their living conditions.

They noted that the Governor’s gesture had motivated them to intensify efforts in ensuring the security of the local environment across the state’s local government areas.

“Our joy knows no bounds, not only for the payment of the new minimum wage to us but also for officially recognising us as part of the Ekiti State workforce. We can now proudly identify as ‘Ekiti Workers’ due to this inclusion in the scheme of workers’ welfare,” the letter read.

The commanders also praised the Governor’s impactful policies over the past two years, emphasising that the Peace Corps had benefited from his administration’s focus on workers’ empowerment and welfare.

“We are bold to assure Your Excellency of our unshaken loyalty at all times. We are determined to continue to demonstrate unwavering support towards the success of your administration. By God’s grace, we will employ every lawful means to sustain the vision of Your Excellency beyond 2026, knowing fully well we will continue to benefit from your leadership,” the statement added.
