Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has told civil servants in the state to disregard viral news on social media on the purported new salary structure.
In a statement by his spokesperson Olawale Rasheed on Monday, Adeleke stated that the information was fake and the work of mischief makers trying to raise expectations of workers and unnecessarily trigger disaffection.
According to the statement, Governor Adeleke demonstrated commitment to workers’ welfare and, at the appropriate time, will unveil measures to cushion the effect of subsidy removal on the people of the state, including civil servants.
It added that the Governor is already working on palliatives measures and will soon be implementing them to support the populace.
The statement reads:
“The attention of the Osun State Government has been drawn to a viral post on a new salary scale for civil servants in the state. The post is false and misleading as every content in it does not emanate from the State Government.
“Since coming to office, Governor Ademola Adeleke has demonstrated commitment to the welfare of workers and, at the appropriate time, will unveil measures to cushion the effect of subsidy removal on civil servants and the larger public.
“The civil servants are assured of the commitment of Governor Ademola Adeleke to their welfare in line with the economic reality of the state.
“Civil servants and the general public should know that the Adeleke administration is already working on palliatives measures and will soon be implemented to support them in this trying period”.
