Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola yesterday assured workers in the state that his administration would not only continue to pay their full salary which they have been collecting in the past one year but ensure their arrears of unpaid salaries would be cleared.
The governor gave the assurance when civil servants hosted him for his victory last Friday at the Supreme Court, which affirmed his mandate in the September 2018 election.
According to him, “I will not only sustain the payment of your full salary but by the grace of God, I’ll pay your arrears. I will prioritise your welfare,” saying that workers must believe in his administration, with dedication and their full support, show understanding and commitment to duty.
Oyetola urged the workers to be partners in progress, adding that they must also deliver on efficiency and productivity as they were drivers of his promise to deliver democracy dividends to the people.
“I have no reason not to hit the ground running, we will deliver on our promises,” the governor said.
Reflecting on the period of litigation, Oyetola, who took the mantle on 27th November, 2018 said “the journey was tough and full of distractions. It was a difficult period for planning. Anytime you made a move to plan, you remember that it is only if all things are equal. You did not know how long you could plan.”
“Now the battle is over, I call on everybody including the opponents to support us to move the state forward because I believe in participatory government,” Oyetola said.
