Osun: TUC Defends Staff Audit Exercise, Rejects Political Interference

Organized Labour under the auspices of Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), Osun State Council, has justified the ongoing staff audit in the state public service, commending Governor Adeleke for his courage and persistence.

In a press statement issued in Osogbo this morning, the TUC Chairman, Comrade Adekola Adebowale said critics of the exercise are denying the rights of the employer to review personnel structure and placements, arguing that “we must cooperate now that necessary reviews ordered by the state Governor have been addressed”.

The labor leader who condemned fifth columnists attempting to create distrusts between government and labour said the TUC will not allow those hiding under the guise of staff audit dispute to disrupt the honest progress being made by the Staff Audit Committee representing the Labour Movement in Osun State.

” We reject political interference from whatever quarters. We stand by the pro-labour government of Governor Ademola Adeleke.

“The exercise ( Staff Audit) helps to update records of personnel and removal of ghost workers are immediate benefits, which then creates job opportunities for real people” the Chairman stressed.

The TUC Chairman however encouraged the Government to continue its collaboration with the labour leadership in the implementation of the exercise, adding the joint committee is eager to ensure the success of the staff audit.
