Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has stated that his administration had prioritised workers’ welfare in the last 44 months, saying he has ensured that no worker was sacked since his assumption of office.
He stated this during the 2023 Inter-faith Service, held at the Governor’s Office, Secretariat, Ibadan, on Monday.
The governor said he had also ensured that no worker was unjustly dismissed from work, adding that his administration is built on fairness, equity and justice. While speaking on the salary structure of the State House of Assembly workers, the governor said his administration would find means of paying the Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure, within the resources available to the state.The governor said, “We promised to look after the welfare of our people; the civil servants and also the people of the state. I will mention one or two things we have done, which are deliberate.
“We employed 5,000 teachers and 500 health officers. Though there are still a few people that are yet to be brought back into the system, it was not this administration that dismissed those individuals but we have to look at the documents on the ground. If they had accused someone of theft, would I bring the person back into the system? No. So, those we brought back were those we were satisfied with their documentation.
