Oyo Govt Calls Labor To Dialogue, Says Arrears Owed By State Is Least Across Nig by Ajokeolore: 3:59pm On Jul 31, 2023
The Oyo State Government has rallied the Nigeria Labour Congress to discuss the issue of salary deductions exhaustively, before embarking on any form of protest.

In a statement issued by the Commissioner of Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, the Oyo State Government said only three months and not six months are owed workers.

The statement added that every State in the federation owes workers salary deductions and the three months owed by Oyo State is the least.

According to the Commissioner, the NLC had shown over the years that they are in support of the present administration because of good governance but asked them to reflect on the disposition of government to workers’ welfare.

While the July salaries have been paid in Oyo State, not less than 20 states including Ondo, Plateau, Benue, and Bayelsa are owing several months of salaries in arrears, while several more including neighboring states are owing months of deduction arrears.

Oyo State Government started the implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage three years ago, yet up till now many states are still struggling to pay the old wage.

While it is the Right and Entitlement of our workers to access their wages, especially at these tough times, Government implores them to reflect on the sincerity of the purpose of this administration.

The statement said despite the challenges of paying wages, over 2,000 civil servants have been promoted, while almost 1,000 others have been converted to regular service.

For the records, Oyo State pays N7.3bn monthly as salaries, yet collects N5bn as Federal Allocation.

Because of this, all the N2.8bn raked in as Internally Generated Revenue IGR is plowed back literally to service salaries.

Prince Oyelade said Government deserves a pat on the back, if despite this tightrope Government still embarks on such a magnitude of infrastructural projects, that even the NLC has applauded numerously.

Eminent pundits, including the current Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki have predicted that no state will be able to pay salaries by the end of June this year because of the worsening shape of the economy but Oyo State due to the deft husbanding of the state resources by Gov Seyi Makinde has defied the doomsday prediction.

This is why the State Government is confident that the NLC will come to the negotiating table and together with the Government chart a realistic path in balancing the welfare of the workers to which the Government is committed and the unpleasant economic indices that stare all of us in the face.

Meanwhile, the Oyo State Government urges workers to resume their duty posts and continue the good work they are known for.

It doesn’t matter least or no least..

Pay them their salary deductions..

No wonder some state can’t even pay salaries talkless of arrears..

Any state that can’t generate any tangible IGR will always owe salaries..

What about the LG allocation from Federation account that comes every month.
The state govs in Nigeria has paralyzed Local Governments.
They do pocket the allocation without doing anything at the grassroot.
LG must be autonomous
