Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the Oyo state governor, Seyi Makinde, on Wednesday, May 29, said the state cannot pay the new national minimum wage of N30,000 just signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Makinde said all states are not created equal, so it is against the principle of fairness to apply a blanket rule to govern them all.

The governor made the disclosures while giving his inaugural address at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, Ibadan as 8th civilian governor.
