Osun state government has allayed the fears of labour leaders over ongoing staff audit
The government also clarified that the exercise is not to witch-hunt or an agenda to sack workers in the state service.
Governor Ademola Adeleke in a statement by his Spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said he has taken note of the concerns of labour leaders and directed a review of the issues raised.
“You know from the beginning the first item on the Governor’s agenda is worker’s welfare.
“The main purpose, the main goal is to ensure that workers in public service and those outside the public service are well taken care of because the thinking is, that is the best route to reboot the local economy and ensure that collective prosperity is our lots in Osun.
“One of the measures being adopted is the issue of staff audit, which is actually not an anti-labour policy, it is actually meant to support the public services and ensure that workers are properly taken care of.
“So, the motivation is basically to strengthen the payroll system to ensure that workers on the payroll are properly aligned, properly place.”
