» "Osun Will Pay Salaries"- Aregbesola «

The Government of Osun on Sunday described as uncalled
for insinuations that the state would not pay salaries of its
workers in March as a result of the N6million federal
allocation that accrued to it for the month of February.
The Government assured its workers that just as the Rauf
Aregbesola administration had weathered the storm to pay
salaries up to December, the government is executing with
the support of all stakeholders, including the workers, a
well-mapped out strategy for ensuring that workers are
not made to pay more price for the dwindling allocation
than they have done.
A statement by the Bureau of Communication and Strategy
in the Office of the Governor, which was signed by its
Director, Semiu Okanlawon, explained that the considerably
reduced FAAC allocation is no more news to the state.
The state received less than N150 million from October till
date, due the the repayment obligations for the
Infrastructure Programs it has been prosecuting. In spite of
the heavy obligations, Osun has paid more than N5billion
in salaries between the same period.
