So, I am in support of the review of the revenue allocation formula.<\/p>\n<p>When it is appropriately reviewed then the issue of ability to pay the minimum wage will be factored into it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on a recent visit to the World Bank, Governor Mimiko disclosed that the World Bank had given commitment to partner with the state in the scaling up its health care programme.<\/p>\n<p>He said the state was &#8220;convinced that it is the way to go to be able to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on Maternal Health. So, for me it has been a very worthy visit and getting enough from the World Bank for a programme like this, for us, it is with all sense of modesty and something that is very classifying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>View article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106280577.html\" title=\"Nigeria: Mimiko Calls for Review of Revenue Formula\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nigeria: Mimiko Calls for Review of Revenue Formula<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Daniel Eteghe 28 June 2011 Ondo State Governor, Dr. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-449257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
