OSUN State workers have given Governor Rauf Aregbesola 14 days to pay their outstanding six month salary arrears of face a full blown strike in what has been a difficult 24 hours for the governor whose son was arrested in Lagos for attempted money laundering.
Civil servants in Osun State have not been paid for six months now, forcing the state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to issue the governor with an ultimatum. After a meeting between the unions and the government failed to resolve the matter, Governor Aregbesola has been given two weeks to pay the outstanding arrears of face full strike action.
This latest development comes at the same time that Governor Aregbesola's son Kabiru was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos with N178m ($912,820) in cash stocked in his luggage. According to airport sources, Kabiru Aregbesola was on his way to the United Arab Emirates when he was apprehended after an airport scan revealed the money.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that upon being arrested, Kabiru is said to have called his father who rushed down to Lagos and requested to see the immigration officers that arrested his son. According to the eyewitnesses, Governor Aregbesola then held a meeting with the officials in a senior officer's office, where the matter was resolved.
Although that issue might have been resolved, Governor Aregbesola still faces the threat of a full blown strike as his government is one of those incapable of clearing the backlog of salary arrears due to a reduction of the federal allocation. According to labour sources, a meeting held yesterday between representatives of the Osun State government and a joint negotiating council, representing the workers, was inconclusive and fruitless

who is tricking who?? 2weeks notice ke? una for give am 2months notice ni. Over corrupt NLC.

if d NLC was sincere, the state should be on lock down 2day... yeye people, 2wiks so dat they can have enough time to arrange how to get there own share abi....

Seriously this is becoming undefendable for Aregbe and ApC, even if the Federal govt did not release anymoney at all to Osun state(which is totally impossible), he as a leader with deep concern for the welfare of his workers and denizens should have devised other means to pay workers salaries. Six month of work and no pay is cruelty!
And I hope his son gets tried for the money laundering indictment, we should all be equal before the law.
His son has 178m to launder while civil servants are languishing in poverty, God is very patient.

what were they waiting for before now?

Ogbeni don dey fvck up

The governor is a clown..

Nlc why wait for two weeks?6months of working without pay?how are the civil servant feeding and paying children school fees?This is highest level of wickedness!

did I read unconfirmed reports

The NLC leaders there are sell outs andd deserve to be shot for collecting bribes from Aregbe

DAMN! IS D BOY WORKING? HOW CAN IMMIGRATION OFFICERS SETTLE MONEY LAUNDERING? WHATS THE WORK OF EFCC AND ICPC?

the highest height of wickedness... Workers are hungry and your son can still carry such huge amount to squander in Dubai..

even tho i am a supporter of ogbeni rauf but i am totally against this. what is he governing if he has not paid salaries for 6months.

They believe Tinubu through Osinbajo can control your government the way Idiagbon did

but you people have been laughing at Ekiti people for voting stomach infrastructure.
Ekiti at now is enjoying their goverment.
who is more stupid.

The undue and unprecedented hardship that will befall SW in the event of Nigeria breaking up will be nothing humanity has ever witnessed before. This is a clarion call to those of you who constantly regurgitate the mantra that SW can survive without ND allocation. They are finding it extremely difficult to pay salaries on reduced ND allocation let alone without ND allocation. Unemployment is up by 80% since they don't believe in private enterprise. Poverty already has gone up by 50% in SW. Many are living under 50 cents a day.

NLC are the problem of this country , you never know they exist till there is Fuel price Hike.

After 1 month of non payment , they should have given an ultimatum, for pete sake this is 6MONTHS and they are still giving him 2 weeks?
