The Osun State Government says it has no plan to demote any of its workers or payment of half salary.
This is contained in a statement by Malam Olawale Rasheed, the spokesperson for Gov. Ademola Adeleke, on Saturday in Osogbo.
The statement said it was an outright falsehood and wicked fabrication, the fake news about the demotion of workers and the alleged plan of payment of half salaries to the state workers.
It said the administration of Gov. Adeleke had no plan to demote any of the state workers and would not introduce payment of half salary.
“We affirm that the Osun State Government under Gov. Ademola Adeleke, has not and will not demote any worker. There is also no plan to introduce half salary.
“We declare that the content of the said story and all the references to a supposed worker are mere fabrications to undermine the very strong bond between Adeleke and Osun workers, both in the formal and the informal sector.
“The bond of partnership between this administration and the workers was further cemented at the May 1 Workers Day celebration, where labour leaders praised the extraordinary commitment of Gov. Adeleke to workers’ welfare,” it stated.
The statement said the May Day event saw confirmation by all stakeholders that Gov. Adeleke was the first governor in the state to have workers’ welfare as the first item on his agenda.
