I will Clear Workers’ Salary Arrears Within Months, Osun Gov Elect Promises

Gboyega Isiaka Oyetola

The Osun State Governor-elect, Gboyega Oyetola has promised to clear all the salary arrears of the civil servants in the state.

Answering questions from news men at the Presidential Villa, Abuja today, Friday, shortly after an audience with President Muhammadu Buhari, Oyetola said that recently, four months salary arrears were paid to the workers, adding that when he assumes office, he will give priority to clearing the remaining arrears.

“We will work at improving the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) so that we will not continue to rely so much on the federation allocation to survive.”

Oyetola was in the Presidential Villa along with the Kano State governor, Dr. Abduallhi Umar Ganduje who head the committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Osun election as well as Governor Rauf Aregbesola.
