Osun: Adeleke Debunks Viral Salary Post

The Osun State Government has told the civil servants to disregard a viral post on a new salary scale for civil servants in the state being circulated.

A statement by the Governor’s Spokesperson Mallam Olawale Rasheed, and made available to CityMirrorNews, in Osogbo, described the post as false and misleading as every content in it does not emanate from the State Government.

The statement hints that since Governor Ademola Adeleke assumed office, he has been committed to the welfare of workers, and at the appropriate time, will unveil measures to cushion the effect of subsidy removal on civil servants and the larger public.

It describes the purported new salary structure being conveyed in the viral post as the work of mischief makers trying to unnecessary arouse expectations of workers and trigger disaffection.

The government assured civil servants of the commitment of Governor Ademola Adeleke to their welfare in line with the economic reality of the state and will soon put in place palliative measures to support them in this trying period.
