Ogun State’s civil servants are becoming restive over the implementation of the September 2020 agreement signed by the state government with the organized labour, to end the new wage strike
Labour leaders met over the weekend in Abeokuta, to review the implementation of the agreement, which provided the timeline for the payment of the new National Minimum Wage, the outstanding promotions, gratuities and deductions from the salaries of civil servants
Acting chairman of the state branch of trade Union Congress (TUC), Akeem Lasisi, in an interview with Rockcity FM correspondent, Busola Adegbite, says that civil servants are becoming agitated over what he termed as the selective implementation of the agreement
He doubts the if the joint labour/government’s review of the implementation of the September 2020 agreement fixed for march 2020 will materializes, when the agreement is not being faithfully implemented by the state government
According to him, one of the agreements, which is the outstanding promotion of civil servants for 2018/2019, expected to begin in December 2020, is yet to start
He also explains that the state government is still owing 12 months of global deductions for co-operative, Ileya shilling fund and others from salaries of workers
