Governor Rauf Aregbesola has paid civil servants in Osun state their December 2014 salaries.
PUNCH reports that the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress in Osun State, Mr. Jacob Adekomi, stated this at a press conference he addressed after a meeting with the government delegation led by Chief of Staff, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola.
The NLC boss 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''.
