Again, Gov Adeleke Approves Money For Payment Of Salary Arrears To Osun Workers
Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke of Osun state has approved money for the payment of salary arrears to civil servants in the state.
A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the governor’s Special Adviser, Mr. Olawale Rasheed on Saturday noted that Adeleke had done this in line with his pledge to pay up ‘salary debt’ in the state public service.
The statement added that the governor not only approved the payment of another batch of half salary arrears but also ensured that the workers would receive their salary for the month of July 2023 .
‘This fresh payment makes it the third time the governor would be paying the half salary debt in line with the template issued early this year to pay the half-salary arrears on a quarterly basis.
This administration has paid that of the first and second quarters while workers will receive the third quarter payment alongside their July salary.
Governor Adeleke had during the electioneering promised to pay the salary debt on installment basis. The current administration had inherited about 26 billion naira in half salary arrears and about 50 billion naira in pension- related debt from the previous government.
Commenting on the approval, the governor restated his commitment to the faithful implementation of the template for the payment of the inherited salary debt, adding that the template is a consensus among all stakeholders on how to exit the half salary rope.
I want to assure Osun workers that the payment is progressing as scheduled. Despite the tight fiscal situation, we are prioritizing workers welfare by paying the inherited debt on installment basis.
As a government of the people, by the people and for the people, we will remain focused on human development while working to upgrade our infrastructure and develop our local economy’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com
