This is to bring to the attention of Nigerians and the people that are close to the powers that be in Ogun state that the people are waiting endlessly for the government to fulfill its promises on the recently released Paris Club refund money.
Below is the copy of how the Platformtimes newspaper reported the press conference that the state commissioners for finance and information jointly held when the fund was released to the state government from the federation's account.
There are so many questions begging for answers on this issue.
The people of the state can just appeal to the governor and his team to please expedite action on the necessary paperworks and the modalities for the release of this money to ease the suffering of the people in the state.

There is no doubt about the fact that if this money is released, ( particularly the portion that is said to have been earmarked for the payment of the backlog of workers unpaid deductions and allowances) it will impact positively on the economic activities of the state.

“Paris Fund: I will spend N7.3 billion to improve lives of Ogun people- Amosun
NEWS EDITOR / 20 SEPTEMBER 2018
The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has promised to spend N7.3billion out of N17.3 billion the last tranche of Paris club refund paid by the federal government to improve the lives of over 7.5 million Ogun residents across the state.
Amosun who added that N10 billion would be spent on backlogs of gratuity, cooperative deductions, severance and furniture allowance of its workforce.
It would be recalled that the Buhari-led administration on Wednesday released the last tranche of Paris Club of N17.3 billion to the state.
The governor through his Commissioner for Finance, Adewale Oshinowo while speaking with newsmen said the balance of N7.3 billion will be spent on social services for the benefit of the state.
Oshinowo opined that the payment of the N10 billion will boost the morale of the public service workforce and enhance its productivity.
He however maintained that Ibikunle Amosun-led administration has been consistent in paying workers’ salaries since the inception of the administration.
He said, “The governor Ibikunle Amosun has directed that N10 billionwhich represents 60 percent of the total Paris Club Refund of N17.3billion, be used for the immediate payment of the backlog of cooperative deductions, gratuity, severance and furniture allowance of its workforce.
"This is in line with the commitment of the Ibikunle-led administration to the welfare of workers. While N10billion is to be expended on the workforce, the balance of N7.3 billion will go into social services for the benefit of the entire 7.5 million indigenes of the state.
“The Ibikunle Amosun administration as you all know is worker-friendly. This informed its decision to increase the salaries of workers in 2012 which doubted our monthly wage bill. It is a testament to the value this government places on its workforce that it pays the highest salaries in the entire federation.”

But how on earth would the Governor receive that much and decided to sit on it?

To make the matter worst, he sent his aids to come and raise the hope of the workers by addressing a press conference where they told all the balderdash about the way the money would be shared.

Ever since then, all of them just entered silence mode and nobody seems to hear anything again.


How can the public office holders continue to treat people with disdain and disrespect and nobody is saying anything?

The problem I have with Nigerians is attacking issues with too much sentiments.

I can boldy state that 70% of the reasons why the grassroots don't feel the effect of the measures by the FG is the fault of the legislative and the state governments.

When goodies are coming from the top, it gets siphoned midway.

We need to stop sentimental attacks. I am not saying the FG is totally innocent.

Ok

constituted authority deadbeat governor.

It's their way. Who's surprised here.

Greedy & selfish lots.

Believe me our problem is not Buhari, but all these yeye governors and Senators. FG has been trying to take us out of poverty but these yeye governors and the looters in the house won't gree

haha they used the donkey and the carrot on a stick method for you in ogun state...

If you know that method of controlling people.. who otherwise will not fall for your whims... you will always have your sack filled with gullible people

That Amosun is not considerate. The workers salary that cannot sustain them yet u still deny them the other part of their salaries. Yes he pays the monthly salary but what about people deducted monies and old peoples gratuity money. For about 6 years now most ogun state workers have been suffering eg A level 9 worker collecting a default salary of 48k is slashed to 24k due to deductions packages. Amosun this is gross Misuse of power and office.

Something that is not even up to 2months and you're already crying!

For him to start utilizing that money, work needed to be arranged and done.

Will he just start dolling out gratuities to account numbers of retirees without proper documents.

Why not wait a bit before u start shouting as if he's collected one before and never utilized it!
