Osun Workers Unpaid Salaries Dangerous -expert by emaculate99: 7:11pm On Mar 13, 2015
A security expert, Mr. Lekan Jackson-Ojo, has said the
failure of Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, to
pay workers for the last five months could trigger
insecurity and other forms of crimes in the state.
Jackson-Ojo said this in an interview with our
correspondent in Osogbo on Friday.
He said it was criminal to leave workers’ salaries unpaid
while the governor was FUNDING HIS PARTY'S CAMPAIGN.
Workers under the aegis of the Trade Union Congress,
led by their chairman, Mr. Olatunji Akinyemi, had
staged a protest against alleged unpaid five months
salaries on Tuesday.
Jackson-Ojo stated that workers would be encouraged to
engage in corrupt practices while traders and artisans
might be LURED INTO CRIME if they did not enjoy
patronage from civil servants who had not been paid.
He said, “Governor who has not been able to pay workers
five months is busy funding the campaign of candidates of
his party who have failed in their first term.
“Aregbesola should PAY workers. IT IS THEIR RIGHT. He should not allow them to be protesting before
paying them. It is unfair.
“ A GOVERNOR WHO REFUSES TO PAY IS ENCOURAGING CRIMINALITY AND INSECURITY BECAUSE POVERTY WILL LEAD TO TENSION AND INSECURITY.”
The security expert also said the people of IJESA North
Constituency were the WORST HIT because while the
governor had refused to carry out any project in the
area, the lawmaker representing the area at the House
of Representatives, Nathaniel Agunbiade, had also done
nothing but diverted the constituency projects and
allowance meant for the area to the state government’s
purse.
According to him, the lawmaker said all members of the
National Assembly from the state donated their
constituency project allowance to the state government to
carry out some projects but he said Ijesa North
Constituency had not benefited anything from the
governor and the lawmaker.
The governor had since appealed to the workers to be
calm, while promising that their salaries would be paid
very soon.
The media aide to the governor, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon,
said this in a statement made available to our
correspondent.
THE GOVERNOR BLAMED THE ECONOMIC CRISIS IN THE COUNTRY FOR THE IRREGULAR PAYMENT OF WORKERS BUT SAID THAT HE WOULD ADDRESS THE ISSUE VERY SOON.

It's not only Osun state ooo!

The uncommon transformer is now digitally shocking all. As at right now, February salary is still pending across all MDAs in Akwa Ibom State.

Why has Osun alone been making news about unpaid salaries? I thought some states are doing worse. Most states in Nigeria are guilty of this. Take politics out it.


How many states below have now gone ahead and paid the workers?

If I were Mallam Aregbesola, I wouldn't convert Lagos state to Osun state governor's house/lounge. It's speaks volume of how he doesn't care about his people. He should be more close to his people and be consoling them and telling them to be patient till money comes. But he wouldn't do that, rather he'll jump to Lagos at the slightest change and start throwing out stomach infrastructure to Lagosians from the roof of a bus.
