Adeleke refutes viral post on new salary structure

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has advised the civil servants to disregard a viral post on a new salary scale for civil servants in the state being circulated.

A statement by the Governor’s Spokesperson Mallam Olawale Rasheed describes the post as false and misleading as every content in it does not emanate from the State Government.

The statement hints that since Governor Ademola Adeleke assumed office, he has been committed to the welfare of workers, and at the appropriate time, will unveil measures to cushion the effect of subsidy removal on civil servants and the larger public.

It describes the purported new salary structure being conveyed in the viral post as the work of mischief makers trying to unnecessary arouse expectations of workers and trigger disaffection. 

The government assured civil servants of the commitment of Governor Ademola Adeleke to their welfare in line with the economic reality of the state and will soon put in place palliative measures to support them in this trying period.

Meanwhile, Gov Ademola Adeleke has reiterated the commitment of his administration to the smooth and effective take off of University of Ilesa, Osun State.

The Governor gave this assurance while receiving the leadership of the National Universities Commission, NUC, led by the Executive Secretary, Ambassador Chris Maiyaki at the Governor’s Country Home, Ede.

Senator Adeleke assured the visiting NUC team that the state government will give all necessary support to facilitate the smooth take and sustainability of the young university.

The Governor described the Vice Chancellor of University of Ilesa, Professor Taiwo Asaolu as a round peg in a round hole who was appointed based on his pedigree and ability to take the newly established citadel of learning to stardom.

He solicited the support of the NUC for the two state universities, affirming the readiness of his administration to provide all needed logistics for the operation of the new university.
