“This follows the perusal of the recommendations of Government/Labour Committee that we set up to work out the modalities for resolving all workers’ welfare-related issues.
“Additionally, we have lifted the ban on annual salary increment which was done in 2012. The embargo on promotions and conversions is also lifted with immediate effect. This is in fulfilment our administration’s pledge to give the welfare of our workers the deserved attention.
“I appreciate labour leaders and the entire workforce in Osun, who are our allies in the race to deliver stellar services to our people, for their selflessness, understanding, perseverance and love for the state.
“You are the reasons why, in spite of the economic storms, Osun still remained strong and outstanding in the comity of states.
“We all know that Osun is passing through the valley of economic challenges and we have proved every inch of the way that we are stronger than the storm. I, therefore, appeal to our workers to reciprocate our gestures by ensuring increased productivity and efficient service delivery.”
