I’ll remit deduction arrears before July ending – Amosun


TVCE [ABEOKUTA] - Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has promised to pay the seven-month deduction arrears, being owed civil servants in the state, by the end of this month.

The deductions were made from the workers salaries and expected to be remitted to their cooperative societies.

Amosun said this on Saturday at the state’s Ramadan Spécial Iftar, with the theme, ‘Sustaining the gains of 2015 elections; Muslims on call’, held at the Arcade Ground, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta.

At the programme, attended by Islamic leaders and faithful in the state, the governor said he was irrevocably committed to delivering the dividends of democracy to the people by completing all ongoing projects.

He, however, solicited the continued prayers for the success of his administration in the face of the current economic realities in the country.

The governor added, “This time, we need prayers from the good people of the state to sustain the tempo of our programmes and policies. We have started and we are determined to work more.

“As a government, all ongoing projects in our three senatorial districts would be completed without leaving any unattended to. We have promised to offset deduction arrears by the end of July.

“This administration will not rest on its oars. Let me assure you that we will not fail in fulfilling all campaign promises. We have started and we are determined to work harder this second term.”

Amosun explained that careful planning had helped the state to improve on its Internally Generated Revenue even before the allocation from the Federal Government account to states began to dwindle.

The governor called on Muslims to use the Ramadan season to show love, affection and kindness to others without any form of segregation.

He said, “We have based everything on planning. The bar of IGR we were able to raise helped us in achieving the development we can see thus far in spite of the economic reality in the nation.

“It behoves on all Muslims to use this Ramadan season to show kindness and affection in order to make its purpose fully realised.”
