Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has slashed the salaries of senior political appointees in the state by 50 per cent with immediate effect.
Makinde made the announcement on Friday at the 2020 International Workers’ Day held at the state secretariat of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Agodi, Ibadan.The 50 per cent cut in political appointees’ salaries in the state came barely two weeks after the governor indicated that the monthly allocations of the legislators had been cut by 30 per cent.
The governor said, “When I was taking over the affairs of government on May 29, 2019, I never envisaged that our first Worker’s Day celebration would happen without the usual pomp. Makinde, who commended workers for their efforts in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, said, “The wellbeing of the common man takes precedence. I give you my word; we will continue to put in the work needed to ensure that you are never paid with ‘bear with us’ at the end of any month.
