Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has denied the claims that his administration had implemented a new salary structure.
The Governor in a statement on Monday by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said the reports of a new salary structure for civil servants in the state did not emanate from the government.
The News Agency of Nigeria reported that he said the mischief makers trying to unnecessarily raise the expectations of workers and trigger disaffection are responsible for the false news.
It added that while Adeleke remains committed to the welfare of the people and is working to unveil measures to cushion the effect of subsidy removal on civil servants and the larger public at the appropriate time in line with economic realities, the current reports about a new salary structure did not emanate from the government and should therefore be disregarded.
The statement read, “The attention of the Osun State Government has been drawn to a viral post on a new salary scale for civil servants in the state.
“The post is not only false but also misleading as every content in it does not emanate from the State Government.
“Since coming to office, Governor Ademola Adeleke has demonstrated commitment 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.
“The civil servants are assured of the commitment of Governor Ademola Adeleke to their welfare in line with the economic reality of the state.”
