Labour unions in Osun State under the aegis of Osun State t Public Service Negotiating Council have warned Governor Rauf Aregbesola against paying workers half salaries for the month of March 2015.

The JNC said the plan to pay them half of their salaries for the month of March was a violation of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by both parties before the workers suspended their strike. A copy of the communiqué was made available to our correspondent in Osogbo on Friday.

The letter which was signed by the Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Jacob Adekomi; Chairman, Nigeria Union of Teachers, Mr. Wakeel Amudah and others urged Aregbesola to direct the ant General of the state and the ant of the Ministry of Local Government not to release the half salaries.

The workers said they would decide on the next line of action to take should the governor refuse to rescind the decision to pay them half salaries.

The communiqué read, “It was on record that bailout of N34.988bn was released to this state on Thursday 3rd of September, 2015 according to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele and instead of the government fulfilling her own side of the deal by carrying out section 3(f) of the MoU signed with the labour on the 13th and 29th July respectively, reverse was the case.

“The information released through the Head of Service on the payment of outstanding salaries on Wednesday was completely opposite the spirit of the existing MoU which had generated palpable tension among the workers and the entire people of Osun State.

“That government should effect immediate implementation of the MoU signed on Monday 13th July, 2015. That labour movements in the state reject in its entirety the payment of half salaries as announced by the Head of Service on Wednesday 9th, September, 2015 and should not be paid into workers’ s.”

The Council of Academic Staff Unions of Osun State Owned Tertiary Institutions has also told lecturers at the two state polytechnics and those in the two colleges of education to ignore the directive of the state government to come out for fresh workers’ verification exercise.

The statement was signed by the CASUOSTI Chairman, Lasisi Jimoh; Secretary, Olusegun Lana; Chairman, Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Iree, Dotun Omisore; ASUP Chairman, Esa Oke, Adesola Akande; COEASU Ila-Orangun Chairman, Segun Onifade and COEASU Ilesa Chairman, Oladele Ojo.

The lecturers said the fresh verification was nothing but another ploy to further delay payment of outstanding salaries despite the fact that the government had received its share of the bailout.

Am not from d state sir, but am a Nigerian(so it doesn't matter d state am frm)....


I just feel sorry for the workers in that state.

osun people needs to receive sense, when the judge challenged aregbe, and the house dismissed the case, the people all kept quiet including labour, u people must suffer until u receive common sense and stage a protest and pressure the house to impeach the criminal, or compel him to pay.

We were sorry for them too before they elected the man.

Advised them accordingly, they refused for the same reason that has come back to now bite them in the y@nsh!

John 3.16 says What a man sows he shall reap

state workers of osun are living a miserable life... and their governor is insensitive to the plight of its citizen.. if this is not with a matter of urgency tackle...it may lead to a state of lawlessness and anarchy

Its time to declare a State of Emergency in Osun state as we can now confirm Aregbesola is a total lunatic that shouldn't be allowed to lead the peace loving people of Osun

Wicked evil CHANGE

Honestly, APC is a scam!

Aregbesola is a scammer.

You lied against the past istration for short charging you because you are in the opposition.

You boasted you don't need FG allocation, then, you couldn't pay your workers for EIGHT Months after.

Your party president decided to help all you looters by given you all BAIL-OUT

You collected your state bailout and deposit in a private , for interest accumulation.

You Aregbesola, claimed you are doing verification to identify ghost workers thereby tactically delaying the payment.

Later you demanded the workers to present primary school certificate before they can be paid.

Now you said you are paying them HALF SALARY

Aregbesola fear God.

that the only thing permanent is CHANGE.

I pray God will see the workers in Osun through this evil and unwarranted suffering brought about by the bad leadership of Rauf Aregbesola.

Shalom!

Where is Lie Mohammed, why is he keeping silent on this matter ?

I remrmberd being abused and vilified in Osogbo then for saying Aregbesola is the biggest scam of the decade and runs a propagandist govt..
dad has not collect pension since last year October..
I'm from osun state,but I don't care right now,let them suffer from their mistake,let them cry,osun state people deserve no pity for putting the state in this mess ,atleast this is d change they want.
I a close old man telling me he prefers the worst of Aregbe to the best of omisore...i was shocked.
last time I saw him,he was crying like a kid in the kindagarteen,he is very sick and can't buy drugs and his children can not help much because they are also osun civil servants..
hopefully the people of osun are wiser now than b4 when they allow propaganda emotions to overcome them.

Good.. My condolences to osun state citizens..

If u guys can survive without salary. U guys can survive in any country.. Even, syria, u guys can survive..

None is better

Shiit

Haba Aregbesola...Since all this month so na half payment you want to give to hard working workers that toils day and night while you go about making merriment but wait ooo your salary ought to be on hold too



[size=20pt]BiggerBangs[/size] says So

Aregbesola used Osun's allocations to fund Buhari's election.. Buhari should repay him via enough loan to pay the innocent & poor Osun workers just the way he granted Oshiomhole a pay back.


Or both Buhari and Aregbesola should simply Resign... Thieves.

This Man actually got bailout from FG but has still refused to pay...he said they should bring primary school certificate first


APC the wicked party of wicked souls
