dc.description.abstractThe battle over the minimum wage at the state level was so heated that every stakeholder manoeuvred against each other in the negotiation process. State governments and organized labour disagree on how to implement the national minimum wage. The research work explored the main thrusts of labour relations and the history of minimum wage implementation in the Osun state of Nigeria. The study employed two types of methods (quantitative and qualitative), and data were gathered from both primary and secondary resources. The study's population was 50254, and the sample size was 400, calculated using Taro Yamane formulae. Quantitative data was analysed using a simple percentage. The findings found that the Osun state government used numerous metrics such as staff audits and headcounts. The study concluded that the state government used a variety of tactics to achieve its aims in determining the new minimum pay for workers' compensation. The study recommended that there should be payment of arrears at the current minimum wage rate to avoid any loss from the workers and there should be effective sanctions against erring states and organizations that fail to implement national minimum wage or fail to implement national minimum wage properly.
