Osun state governor, Aregbesola pay workers full December salary

Osun state governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has put smile on the faces of civil servants in the state as he paid them their full December 2017 salary.

Recall that Aregbesola has been paying the workers half salary for some months. To protest the payment of the half salary, the workers in late December embarked on strike.

The development was the fallout of agreement the state government reached with the top hierarchy of the state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint Negotiation Council (JNC) shortly before they suspended industrial action workers embarked in late December to denounce payment of modulated salary, non remittance of contributory pension, amongst other issues.
