Aregbesola Pays Osun Workers December Salary
According to reports by the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress in Osun State, Mr. Jacob Adekomi, Governor Rauf Aregbesola has approved the payment of December, 2014 salary for workers in the state.
Adekomi, who said this at a press conference on Tuesday after a meeting with the government delegation led by Chief of Staff, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola, added that the governor also approved the payment of the 30 per cent balance of November salaries of some workers who were yet to be paid in full.
The NLC boss, however, said workers would not suspend their strike despite the payment of their one month salary out of seven months.
The Head of Service, Mr. Sunday Owoeye, also confirmed that workers had started receiving alerts for balance of November and December 2014 salaries.
According to Adekomi, most workers will not have anything left to feed with let alone transport themselves to their places of work and because of this, he stressed that the strike would continue.
The NLC chairman said,” We appreciate the efforts of the government to see that salary and pension arrears are settled without further delay. Our negation with government is that out of eight months owed us; the minimum we can take is give months to resume work.
“As it is now, the strike continues while negotiations also continue. I appeal to all workers in the state to continue to stay at home until further notice.
This payment is as good as no payment, because all deductions must have been made by our various banks. Because of this, there won’t be money for us to transport ourselves to work and feed our families.
“Until we have enough money to feed and for our transportation to work, we will not resume work. The strike continues.”
Aregbesola began to pay salary arrears after Moves to impeach him was intensified.
