The Oyo State Government has
announced an increment in the salaries
of civil servants in the state.
Governor Abiola Ajimobi made the
announcement while addressing workers
who were on queue to board the free
Ajumose buses at the Government
Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan on Thursday.
He explained that the salary development
was the aftermath of the meeting he held
with the state chapter of the Nigeria
Labour Congress (NLC), stressing that
the union would brief the workers on the
details of the salary enhancement.
Governor Ajimobi said that the salary
enhancement ranged from 10 to 30 per
cent increment, depending on the Grade
Level of each civil servant.
While expressing his administration’s
commitment to the welfare of workers in
the state, he said that the provision of the
10 Ajumose buses to convey workers to
and fro work free of charge was aimed at
making the working environment
conducive for them.
He also noted that his administration
had, since inception, introduced a lot of
innovations into the civil service in order
to improve the lots of the civil servants.
Governor Ajimobi said that the salary
increment would go a long way in
boosting the morale of workers and
enhance more commitment and
dedication to duties.
Some of the workers, who were queuing
for the free Ajumose buses at the close of
work, commended Governor Ajimobi for
the wage increment as well as the
provision of the free buses.
The apparently excited civil servants
engaged in fervent prayers for the
governor and the success of his
administration.
In their separate comments on the
provision of Ajumose free buses, two of
the civil servants, Mrs. Adejumo Janet
and Mr. Iyanda Yekini lauded Governor
Ajimobi for the free bus initiative,
stressing that the initiative had saved
them a lot of money which they had
hitherto been spending on transportation
on monthly.

see what Ekiti people have caused ajimobi has done very well in Ibadan but the workers like my aunty have vowed to vote him out like fayemi because he has refused to share the money.

a situation where people put stomach infrastructure above visible change is not good for our democracy


ftc

Nice improvement.

Election fever

GOOD ONE AJUMOSE

GOOD ONE APC

JOIN THE TRAIN OF CHANGE

I hope it is sustainable. We wouldn't want a case of 3 months without salary because the government can't pay.

We no be mumu nah, everybody no say election is near. Anyway una try.

The fact dat Tinubu and Fashola inspires these APC governors does not remove their PDP-like incompetence o

Bcuz me I never see a Fashola-like governor among other APC governors Forget whether election dey or not. I mean an always actively functional governor.

kudos

Sad part is that less funds will be available for capital expenditure.

Interesting!

passionate88: Election fever

Ur signature is so damn true

Today will be wonderful.so so goodnews on frontpage

Once they get elected/re-elected into office, the headline would read:

"Oyo state Government reverts to old salary scale, after months of unpaid worker salaries"

HNosegbe: 2015 things.

Sad part is that less funds will be available for capital expenditure.

true.

@ topic, Indeed we love "stomach" infrastructure.

I love election period. Its like sundays. So much merriment and rice eating.

Any government that improves the standard of living of her workers even without anyone asking for it or being under duress,is worth a trillion votes.

Election things on point.anyways that's a plus to d governor,hoping d workers will be more dedicated

Even if this is all a political stunt against nxt year ,I ll still give him a pat on the back and advise the likes of gov Suswan who in his own case want to reduce workers salary in order to pay some outstanding debt, to take note.
