Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke on Saturday said his administration had commenced work on the modalities for the implementation of new minimum wage for government workers in the state.
Speaking at the grand finale of the 14th convocation of Osun State University, held at the main campus of the institution in Osogbo, Adeleke said his administration had been supporting various initiatives that would enhance the growth of the institution.
The governor, who noted that the removal of fuel subsidies had imposed challenges on workers, assured them that his administration would not spare any effort to mitigate the impact on workers in government’s employment.
He added that in the last one year, the state government had supported the university to complete an office complex at the Isale-Osun campus to meet the university’s requirements for health-related programme accreditations.
“We have also supported the university towards the construction of its ultra-modern Anatomy Complex which we commissioned earlier today. We have also prioritised the construction of roads leading to the student area at Sasha Market and other campuses of our University.
“We paid a year’s arrears promptly to the staff members. We have also paid palliative allowances to all workers, and we are currently working on the modalities for the implementation of the newly approved minimum wage,” Adeleke said.
