Gov. Rauf Aregbesola of Osun on
Friday approved the payment of 100 per cent 13th month basic salary
to workers
in the State
The governor announced the gesture
in Osogbo while distributing vehicle refurbishing loans to public servants.
Aregbesola said no past
administration had ever paid 100 per cent 13th month salary
to workers.
He assured that his administration
would continue to put smiles on the faces of workers, adding that he would live
up to his electioneering campaign promises.
“We have virtually touched every
sector of the society in our bid to live by our words. We have touched every
sphere significantly in pursuance of our Six-point Integral Action Plan.
“What we are doing today is
spectacular and unusual again. It is unprecedented to give vehicle refurbishing
loans to many beneficiaries.
“It is our desire to ensure that our
workers, both at the state and local government levels, are given the best so
that we can work together to get the dividends of democracy”, he said.
No fewer than 9,435 workers
were listed as beneficiaries of the loan, a development which the labour
leaders described as first in the history of the state.
Mr Francis Adetunji, Chairman of
Trade Union Congress, Mr Bayo Adejumo, Chairman, Joint Negotiation Council; and
Mr Saka Adesiyan, Chairman, NLC, lauded Aregbesola for the gesture. (NAN).
