Civil Servants in Oyo State have given Governor Abiola Ajimobi seven days within which to settle their over five months arrears of salaries.

The seven-day ultimatum was issued on Tuesday in Ibadan, the state capital, by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint Negotiation Council (JNC).

The State NLC Chairman, Waheed Olojede, who spoke at a news conference, said the seven-day ultimatum would commence on Wednesday, March 30 and lapse on Thursday, April 7.

He said the unions had considered the prevailing condition of workers and pensioners with five months unpaid salaries and the failure of government to accede to previous requests.

The government and the unions in 2015 signed a Memorandum of Understanding on how the salaries would be paid.

Olojede said the unions had written to the state government requesting for a meeting, which he claimed the government failed to accept.



He said the situation had reduced workers to mere beggers, adding that their productivity, diligence and absolute commitment would be hinged on how the workers were treated.

“If government fails to meet the leadership of the labour movement in the state, we may not be able to guarantee continued industrial peace beyond the stipulated time,” he said
