Give Us Our Change!!! Osun And Edo Workers Protest Unpaid Salaries by Idokojimmy: 4:38pm On Mar 11, 2015
Civil Servants from across Osun State rallied in Osogbo tuesday in protest against the State Government for their unpaid Salaries for over Five Months.


Civil Servants Protest Unpaid Salaries

The workers who gathered at the Fakunle Comprehensive high School blocked the main Olaiya Junction of Osogbo and marched through the Osogbo/Gbongan Road, chanting anti-government songs. The workers alleged that Junior Workers were owed for 4 Months while those of Senior Cadre about 5 months.


A Civil Servant Protesting

The workers,led by the Chairman of the Trade Union Congress in the state, Mr. Olatunji Akinyemi, alleged said that apart from the failure of the Governor Rauf Aregbesola-led administration to pay them the outstanding salaries, the same government had refused to remit pension contributions, deducted from their previous salaries, to various retirement savings accounts.

They claimed that the governor was busy spending the state’s resources on campaigns of the All Progressives Congress and left workers to suffer untold hardship.

The Osun APC’s attempt to blame the failure of their states salary on Jonathan met a brick wall as President Jonathan addressed a mammoth gathering in Osun State and categorically stated that the FG does not owe any state any allocation whatsoever. The Whistle gathered several opinions on the matter:

Mr. Tolulope Lawal said: “Federal government is not owing any state, most state borrowed and they must pay back before the end of his or her term. Aregbesola is owing 230 billion naira. it will take osun 28years to pay back! is the type of change we want?”


Protesters Matching Against Unpaid Salaries

Highlighting the governments’ ineptitude and questioning it’s change narrative, another commenter noted that the Governor has no prudence and his knowledge of fiscal matters questionable, He said:
“The government is a terrible manager of funds. You know from time that the states allocation is not much yet he chose to spend billions of naira purchasing opon IMO , painting railway paths and other silly projects he know he can make money from while neglecting the state workers. The students too are not having the right education abi of what use is going to school without tests and exams. May God deliver this country from this selfish change.”

“He has been mismanaging osun state resources for the past 5 years even when they were collecting money regularly. Go and look at the wasteful senseless projects he spent billions of naira on in osun state. He has been borrowing money like mad for the past 4 years,apc state are the most indebted in nigeria. If lagos account is opened and made public people will (–censored–) tinubu. I have been saying this that states can develop themselves and make their states economically financially stable.the point is all these state govs are just plain lazy and rely on allocations every 5 weeks . The resources are there. This aregbe wasted tens of millions on a statue ,can u imagine that!!!!!”



Several other commenters seemed to generally agree that Fiscal Indiscipline hallmarks the APC style of government as the state of Osun’s finances and indebtedness to Civil Servants is replicated across many APC states including while others think the monies are being kept in a fixed deposit to generate interest for the Governor and the Party for campaign purposes, others argued that the State is broke as all indebtedness to the Party’s Financier and National Leader BOLA TINUBU money are being paid back through proxy contracts.

Similarly in Edo, Workers of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria expressed their grievance over the non-payment of salaries owed them by the Edo State Government. The workers were yet to receive their 2014 July salary as well as the January and February 2015 salaries, according to the State Chairman of the union, Uyi Ogieriakhi.

We have also gathered that doctors in Lagos, another APC state are set to begin indefinite strike on Monday.

Rochas Okorocha is another dude that lacks fiscal responsibility. He goes about spending tax payers money on statues and useless buildings. He builds school blocks without chalks and black boards.

Before you hit me, i am not from imo state. I am just observant.

Change my bottom. All these so call old agents of change are clueless and ignorant about the workings of the state economy. Simply using the available scare resources to satisfy the needs of their states, they rather run to fg to borrow as if they can afford to pay back within their life span
