According to my Speaker ( Ambassador Oyedeji Olusegun Abayomi GSM Volunteer People with Disability Omituntun 2:0) is that wetin our Oyo workers want again? sebi. Sebi Salary and Promotions are regular since GSM Omituntun 2:0 is doing well 




 Oyo State workers, represented by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), staged a protest by barricading all entrances to the Government Secretariat in Agodi, Ibadan.





The protest came about due to Governor Seyi Makinde’s failure to address their demands, which included remittance of deductions, the issuance of promotion letters with financial implications, and a review of pensions, among other issues.


The workers’ protest caused significant traffic congestion along the Secretariat road, and they voiced their solidarity through chants to attract the attention of passers-by.



During a conversation with the media, Mr. Kayode Martin, the State NLC Chairman, stressed that the only acceptable resolution to the protest was a face-to-face meeting with Governor Seyi Makinde, rather than engaging through a representative.


Mr. Martin accused the Governor of being insensitive to the workers’ plight and disregarding their concerns by not engaging with them.


He further elaborated that all their attempts to communicate with the Governor had been ignored, leading to a strained industrial relationship.


Supporting his counterpart, TUC Chairman Mr. Bosun Olabiyi, highlighted Governor Makinde’s lack of responsibility and responsiveness towards the workers in the state.





He emphasized that all previous efforts to meet with the Governor had been futile, prompting them to resort to the protest as a means to assert their demands.
