Subsidy Removal: Gov. Adeleke Approves Wage Award For Civil Servants, Pensioners
The Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has approved the payment of wage award to civil servants and pensioners in the state as a measure to mitigate the impact of subsidy removal.
The Governor stated that the action was in a continuation of his avowed commitment to workers’ welfare and a fulfillment of his pledge for the gradual rollout of palliative measures to cushion the effect of subsidy removal.
Governor Adeleke’s approval was conveyed in a circular issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Capacity Building, disclosing that workers in the service of the state will get a N15,000 wage award while pensioners will receive N10,000.
The circular, signed by Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Mr. Sunday Fadele, noted that the wage award will run for six months, beginning from December, 2023.
While acknowledging and appreciating the understanding of Osun state workers and pensioners for their show of understanding regarding the efforts of the State Government in the last one year to improve on their welfare, being the first on the 5-point Action Plan, the present administration promised to continue to ensure its commitment to the welfare of workers are met at all times.
Governor Adeleke urged workers in the State to be more diligent and committed to their duties by the gesture of government .
Oyo State Government under the able Governorship of Engineer Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde shall continue to be lauded as the Pace setter, the Giant on the payment of Wage Awards…both Civil workers and Pensioners are smiling homes with #25,000 and #15,000 respectively. While, September 2023 is the retroactive date. God Bless our Governor! Long live to the Workers in the State!!
Governor Ademola Adeleke is equally commended for swapping into action by his proactiveness in the payment of Wage Awards. Workers at any strata deserve better treatments. God bless the people of Sound and the Able Governor.
