He tried in infrastructural development. The half salary is also from level 13 and above,other junior levels get complete salary. Aregbesola got his projection wrong, he never envisaged a decline in state allocation, that was why he embarked on so many projects.In infrastructure, he leads other state governors in SW apart from Lagos

Femi Makinde, Osogbo

The Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has said he deserves commendation for building the Moshood Abiola International Airport at Ido-Osun, Osun State, for N11.5bn.

A consultant to the state government on information, Mr. Sunday Akere, who spoke on behalf of the governor, said this in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Tuesday.

He said the contract was not inflated to siphon the state’s resources as alleged by the Peoples Democratic Party.

He said the increase in the contract sum was necessitated by the inflation caused by the fall of the naira.

Akere said, “The PDP in Osun should be ignored, they are just seeking relevance. They should find out how much PDP states like Akwa Ibom, Gombe and others built their airports.

“When former President Goodluck Jonathan was in power, he said he added an additional airstrip to the Nnamdi Azikiwi International Airport, Abuja with N36bn. We should be commended for building an airport with N11.5bn.

“If we are building a complete airport with a hanger and other facilities for N11.5bn, then we should be commended. The governor deserves commendation.”

Akere also said the initial cost of the airport was underestimated.

But the PDP accused the governor of increasing unilaterally the contract sum of the airport from N4.5bn to N15.5bn.

The Director of Media and Strategy of the Osun PDP, Mr. Diran Odeyemi, said this in a statement on Sunday.

The statement read, “We are aware that Governor Rauf Aregbesola, on January 8, 2016 through a letter with reference number SP/S96/1/vi/348 re-awarded the airport contract to the same contractor and a payment of N472m was paid as take-off sum.

“The same company had earlier been paid N2.7bn for the same project without any serious work done on the project.

The PDP also accused the governor of inflating the contract sum in order to embezzle the bailout funds it got from the Central Bank of Nigeria.

The opposition party lamented that workers in the employ of the state were languishing in hunger as a result of unpaid salaries.

The party had said, “We are calling on the President and anti-graft agencies to send a secret team to the site of the so-called Moshood Abiola International Airport, Ido-Osun, to confirm what the government and the airport company had done with the N2.7bn taken from the purse of the state on December 14, 2012.


“Out of the amount, N2.5bn was sourced as a loan from a bank to be repaid monthly at N100m from the SURE-P funds. That loan is now part of the N88bn restructured for the state by the Central Bank for repayment till the year 2034 .”

Oga no one should try and defend dis politicians again, let God just provide for us one way or d other and let not be in their mercy.

dannybee:
the way it works is, the real workers don't even have a say, its thr representatives up there that are taking this stupid decision on their behalf

jtwest:
Iresi, r u kidding? Shey na white rice them go dey chop abi Oga why r u doing like u don't know importance of money, why should he pay them half salary and he will go home wit full salary and more? As a leader he should serve the people with everything, if people are happy with him, his life and his children will forever be fine. It's simple let people see your effort to cater for there issues, so changing ur name to mister or state of osun and other non priorities, it's plain stupid.

Why FG will no longer allow establishment of modular refineries in Niger Delta – Kachikwu
May 12, 2017

The Federal Government, yesterday, declared that it would no longer allow the proliferation of modular refineries across the Niger Delta region.

Recall that government had a few weeks ago said it would encourage the setting up of modular crude oil refineries in oil-producing communities across the Niger Delta.

Can you read sir?
"...have their mini-refineries modules already fabricated, assembled and containerized overseas, ready for shipment to Nigeria for installation..."

Aregbe and all dis apc governor sef, he sometimes lacks priority, u see he is a man dat doesn't think of future, now he is trying to escape the backlog of half salary he is owing, but he is comfortable to spend so much on governance, leaving the people to suffer. Why don't they just have conscience

Lanre4uonly:
MoU everywhere. Anyway, whether the State Government would fulfil the contents of the MoU signed or not. Time will surely tell.

VERQUEST111:
Osun State Government workers have suspended the strike action embarked upon to force government to stop paying them half salaries.
The workers, on Saturday night , announced the suspension of the strike after signing a memorandum of understanding with the representatives of the state government .

The MoU was signed on behalf of the workers by the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress , Mr. Tunde Adekomi ; Chairman , Joint Negotiating Council , Bayo Adejumo among others while the, Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Bola Oyebamiji; the Head of Service , Dr. Fetus Oyebade and the Chief of Staff to the Governor , Mr. Gboyega Oyetola signed on behalf of the state government .

According to the MoU, the entire workforce and pensioners would be paid their full salaries for the month of December 2017 and the modalities for payment of subsequent salaries from January 2018 would be worked out later .

It was , however , stated in the document that payment of full salaries would resume fully by the second quarter of 2018.

When you write like this, you are directly referring to us, who campaigned for Buhari and convinced people to vote for him. Be rest assured that most of us are tired and have resolved to shop for another Messiah since we have always maintained to continue to search and hope for the best in this uncertainty call Nigeria. The question is who as we are not ripe to enthrone proven young people that can show us the light. Chinua Achebe who believed that there was a country outlined that we need two things that will cause every other things fall in place (Not apart) in Nigeria's fractured system. 1, Aim to perfect free and fair elections.
2, Make government positions extremely less attractive. The first will introduce sanity, meritocracy, appreciation of human input and host of other socially reparative factors while the later will try to sideline those who should not be in government, MDAs and others. Even though it has been contended that that will also give way to political power monopoly since religion can never be underestimated, it must not be overlooked.

Let's continue to search for a better President or give up on Nigeria as the future is not bright in the eyes of those that can see their future and that of the younger generation.
