Workers in Osun on Tuesday resumed work after seven weeks of industrial action called by the state labour unions due to unpaid salaries by the state and local governments.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that workers in Osogbo Local Government were seen tidying up their offices at the council secretariat that had been under lock and keys for seven weeks.

A staff of the local government, Mr Maufu Abdullahi, told NAN that workers resumed work following the directive they received from their union leaders suspending the strike on Monday.

He said workers had received bank alerts of one month salary (January) with a promise to get February’s salary on Thursday this week.

Abdullahi said the union leaders had promised that workers should expect the second payment on Thursday, while the remaining months would be paid when the Federal Government bailout fund was released.

NAN reports that workers in the state Government Secretariat, Abere, were seen sparsely in their departments, some were in groups discussing the situation, while others were putting their offices in order.

One of the workers told NAN under the condition of anonymity that workers still had reasons to doubt the seriousness and sincerity of the state government to pay February salary on Thursday.

He said the doubt being expressed by the workers was based on the antecedents of the government in the recent past.

The NLC Chairman in the state, Mr Jacob Adekomi, called off the strike on Monday after the unions had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the government’s representatives.

Mr Adekomi said the state government had paid workers’ salaries for the months of January, “while February salary will be paid on Thursday.’’

He said the government has agreed to pay the rest of the salaries immediately the bailout funds from the Federal Government are released.

Resumed strike after seven months strike? Am I the only one seeing this?

Good

If States Were Women,Osun state would be that woman that spent all her saving on friend's aso-ebi but forgot to feed her kids at home.!

udom is working wike is working APC states are fighting and striking and bombing

keep it up

Pls correct the caption sir.
It's confusing

Why strike again? Thought they resumed work yesterday?

Op, are you sleep talking posting?

The truth of the matter is that osun state needs to go on a sacking spree.

It is glaring clear that the state cannot meet its financial needs again and to think the state has the largest civil service force after Lagos is baffling.

The Era of tiwatiwani govt is over as it glaring shows this people are only after there pocket which they don't really work for.

Money will be saved and enough will be available for infrastructural development.

An Era whereby 7bn is generated monthly and 5bn is used to pay salary not to talk of its current fall to less than 3bn is a joke.

When the intervention fund dries up, I wonder what will happen?

And to think the government was even planning to create more government

#heremeout
I am just trying to make sense

I have problem with my governor's (yes, Aregbesola is my person & APC my beloved party) style of leadership. My guy tells lies like there is no tomorrow. Imagine entered into agreement you quite knew right from the word go you would never abide by or impossible to follow. Why must he lie? Doesn't he know anything build on foundation of lies can never succeed and if it does would never last.

The guy needs some rocking to redirect his whacked thinking process.

Correct the heading o.. Resume strike ke

Kashamu rice don finish, Ben over to you..
