The Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Osun State chapter, Mr Jacob Adekomi, has said that the Governor Rauf Aregbesola administration has started paying full salaries to all categories of workers in the state.

The NLC chairman said this in a telephone interview with our correspondent in Osogbo on Wednesday.

Adekomi said local government workers and primary school teachers had started receiving payment alerts from their banks, adding that he had also received an alert of full salary for the month of July.

He said, “The state government has started paying us full salaries. But we are waiting for the payment of arrears of the balance of modulated salaries. We have already given them a 21-day ultimatum and we hope they will pay the arrears before the expiration of the ultimatum.

“Negotiation will soon commence and we are waiting for them to start paying us the arrears. But I can confirm that they have started paying us full salaries and I received the alert yesterday.”

But the Secretary of the 2011/2012 Forum of Retirees in the state, Mr Sola Olojode, said pensioners had yet to start receiving full pensions.

He said retirees went to the Head of Service, Dr Oyebade Olowogboyega, and were assured that they would be paid full pension for the month of July.

He said this while speaking with our correspondent on the telephone.

Olojede said, “We went to the Head of Service two days ago and he assured us that we would be paid full pension for July. We will make noise again if we are not paid as they promised.

“He also assured us that those retirees whose N100, 000 cheques given to them bounced should present the cheques again. The cheques of N100, 000 out of millions of naira gratuities bounced. Can you imagine that? The cheques were given to teachers that retired through Teachers and Establishment and Pension Office.”

Meanwhile, Olowogboyega commended Aregbesola for the double promotions they received without examinations and the employment of thousands of youths into the Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme programme.

He also lauded the governor for the on-going conversion of workers from one cadre, adding that refurbishment of office equipment and necessary items for effective service delivery would be done soon.

Olowogboyega stated that arrears and leave bonuses would be paid, adding that the new promotion status of each worker would be reflected and not the former level, while the financial benefits attached to the promotion status would be fulfilled.

Una pettyness no get rivalry aswear

The evil in apc is so glaring that they manipulate the masses in such a way that the world sees the deceit in them. People are wiser than this na

Coz of election and after election dey will revert to Half pay

Good.

Fayose was a learner.

Don't be like Fayose.

Aregbesola's score in salary payment is poor but other sectors such infrastructure and Education, i'd give him a pass mark.

VICTORY AT LAST for the civil servants in that state.

Will this make the people change their minds towards ogbeni though?
ONLY time will tell.

Aregbesola is lucky that PDP in the state are in disarray since their primaries, cos what took out 'Mr I'm in pains' in Ekiti is synonymous with this.

But It's rather late than never.
Good they were paid now than receiving #3,000 alert on the eve of the election!

Did you support Fayose or not? Did you see him as "irresponsible"? Remember, he was owing SEVEN MONTHS, not half pays.

APC is working

Victory for good governance.

So he had this money all this while and was paying the workers half salary while diverting the rest of the money to Asiwaju & his cronies.
Only to do so now one month to the election to confuse the masses. Wicked Nigerian politicians.



Useless party, useless people.

This people re wicked and callous.
They take people for fools.

Thou i like aregbe and i live what he did to osun state. Especially in the areas of education and the road networks.
I feel that he failed woefully in payment of salary.

No government should ever develop excuse to not pay salary
But then. People should wise up and still vote in APC instead of adeleke who didnot even have a single credit in waec or even graduated from university.

That kind of man will not be economically savvy or intelligent.
He will obly be street wise.
Just like BUHARI.
If person no go school na problem

we perfectly undastand the move....since the Government is capable of doin this a long time ago then I will tag this Government A wicked Government cos A lot of ppl hav suffered strictly bacause of its insensitivity

Okay.

did you not read that he his owing them arrears ? Many months for that matter and he only started paying full month from July ,mind you this is just a gimmick and excuse to rig osun elections.
Even if fayose had borrowed money from outside he would have put ekiti state in more debt and APC would still have rigged ekiti massively using federal might.

No government have taken Nigerians for fools than the broomstick party.

Ortom
