The organised labour in Edo State has called on other states governors across the country to emulate Governor Adams Oshiomhole on the issue of workers’ welfare.
A joint statement signed by the Chairmen of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrades Emmanuel Ademokun and Marshal Ohue respectively, described Oshiomhole as a pace setter who should be emulated for increasing workers’ salary without agitation, especially at  a time when many state governors could not pay their workers’ salaries.
 Oshiomhole had during the  Workers’ Day celebration promised to increase the minimum wage in the state from 18,000 to N25, 000 which was effected in the June 2016 salaries of workers in the state.
