The Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf
Aregbesola, has promised to pay workers
in the state their salaries before the end of
this month.
The governor made the promise in a
statement issued in Osogbo on Sunday by
his media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon.
Most workers are being owed seven
months’ salaries.

But the statement was silent on whether
the governor would pay the backlog or he
would pay part of the salaries.
The statement read in part, “Before the
end of June, workers would be paid their
salaries.”
The governor stated that he had a great
dream for the state and that was why he
was in a hurry to begin many
programmes which had earned him
applause even outside the country.

He added, “The dream has not gone
awry and it is a clear vision that Osun
must be on its feet, self-reliant and be a
reference point in Nigeria. The race to
ensure development within the first term
of Aregbesola was informed by the fear
of what is happening now.
“Aregbesola wanted an Osun State that
is self-reliant. That Osun State, almost
two decades after its creation, could not
boast of tax-paying companies speak
volume about the magnitude of the works
that awaited the Aregbesola
administration.

“But he did not shy away from this task
of industrialisation. Within his first term,
his government had caused investors to
bring up companies, such as the Omoluabi
Garment Factory, Osogbo and
Adulawo/RLG Technology Company in
Ilesa.
“Just last month, a leading telephone line
company, Airtel, came to establish
partnership with the Adulawo/RLG
Company. These are aside the various
agro-allied companies which have
benefited from the growth schemes of the
Aregbesola administration throughout the
state.

“The government has also commenced
aggressive drive for the development of
the solid mineral sector with the signing of
a Memorandum of Understanding with
an Australian mining firm, Andalusia
Mining Industry.
“It was in the same vein that the idea of
an airport for aircraft maintenance was
conceived.
“Only a lazy administration would accept
the tag of Osun State as a ‘civil servant’
state as excuse for not developing
initiatives for industrialisation.

“To accept that our state must continue to
survive on the meagre inflow through
what goes to the civil servants alone is to
accept that we would continue to depend
on external forces for our survival"
