May Day: Gov Abiodun betrayed us – Ogun workers lament
The TUC Chairman in Ogun, Comrade Akeem Lasisi, disclosed this, Friday, while addressing journalists on the occasion of the 2020 Workers’ Day Celebration.
However, he said they felt disappointed and betrayed as the state government failed to live by its promises. “In fact, government had earlier announced that workers would be paid their March, 2020, salaries based on the workings of the minimum wage. In the same vein, he said the TUC bothered by the nonpayment of the accumulated gratuity to senior citizens, who, it was learnt, have retired in droves from 2012 to date, describing it as “illogical, unwholesome and ungodly” to owe people who, he said had contributed immensely to the economy and stability of the state.
“We have in arrears the promotion exercises of 2018 and 2019, while that of 2020 is due in next few months. There are also the arrears of payment of gratuity to our retirees who have served our dear State meritoriously in their prime years. By far the most pressing however, is the commencement of the payment of the new minimum wage as agreed between Government and Labour, and some others related matters.” Abiodun acknowledged.
