Osogbo—Civil servants in Osun State yesterday ignored the
directive of the labour leaders in the state to resume work
following the truce reached with the state government over
unpaid salary arrears.
Vanguard’s check in various offices and schools to monitor
the compliance with the directive, showed that the gates and
classrooms were under lock and key.
The NLC chairman, Comrade Jacob Adekomi and chairman
Joint Negotiation Council, JNC, Comrade Bayo Adejumo,had
in a statement in Osogbo on Wednesday ordered workers to
resume work immediately.
Furore in Assembly over cttee on anti-Aregbesola petition
Also, controversy yesterday trailed the composition of the
ad-hoc committee set up by state House of Assembly to
investigate the petition written by a serving judge in the
state, Justice Folahanmi Oloyede seeking the investigation
of the state governor, Rauf Aregbesola over alleged financial
recklessness since coming into office about five years ago.
The speaker of the state assembly Hon. Najeem Salami had
announced the constitution of a seven-man committee
consisting of members of the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, during a press briefing in the chamber of the
house.
The committee chaired by the deputy speaker, Mr.
Adegboye Akintunde (Osogbo) has Owoeye Timothy (Ilesa-
East), Adebayo Ajibola (Olorunda), Ogunsola Adeleke
(Aiyedire), Olalekan Rsaheed (Ifelodun), Akinola Adufe
Olasunkanmi (Irewole) and Oladoyin Folorunsho (Ife-South)
as members.
The speaker disclosed that the Director on Legislative
Matters and Director of Legal Services in the state will join
the committee and serve at its secretariat.
He said that the committee which has two weeks to submit
its report would carry out its assignments in camera.
But the composition of the committee did not go down well
with the two minority members from the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, as they accused the house of
allegedly side lining them.
Speaking after the press conference, the minority leader
representing Ife central, Mr. Makinde Oladejo expressed
displeasure at the decision of the house saying “we the
minority have no confidence in the committee.”
When asked why there was no member of the opposition
party in the committee, the Speaker said the committee
should comprise of experienced hands and not new
members in the house.
Salaam said Governor Aregbesola has forwarded his
response to the petition.
He said “After the report was made available to the house,
the superior argument of the 26 members that make up the
house will prevail and people may be surprised as to the
decision of the house.”
He assured that Governor Aregbesola and the petitioner
would be summoned to the house to make their cases orally
before a final decision is reached.
PDP rejects composition
Meantime, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has rejected
the composition of the committee to investigate the petition
by Justice Folahanmi Oloyede, against Governor Rauf
Aregbesola.
The party, in a statement by Prince Diran Odeyemi, the PDP
director of media and strategy, said the “lawmakers were
not clever enough by deliberately leaving members of the
opposition in the house out of the committee”.
The PDP alleged that the lawmakers were acting the script
prepared by Governor Aregbesola and are now at the
second stage of their plans.

Labour union is polluted!

NICE

Labour union is polluted!

The NLC President in Osun is compromised. It is really bad that he has failed the workers it is mandated to protect. How could he have told workers in the state to resume when the Government failed on its part in the MOU they signed. One month salary being paid out of 8 months is too small. Most of the workers wont even lay their hands on the money because of the the money they have already borrowed. I totally agree with the workers. They should remain at home till their salaries are paid in full..

NLC dia is God ooooo, ok

NLC, ASUU, and the rest are all failed bodies. they shouldn't be taking seriously for their words.
