 Oyo Govt To Labour: Let Us Dialogue Before Embarking On Protest

Updated and Posted By Ambassador Oyedeji Olusegun Abayomi CEO RBFD blogger

The Oyo State Government has rallied the Nigeria Labour Congress to discuss the issue of salary deductions exhaustively, before embarking on any form of protest.

In a statement issued by the Commissioner of Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, the Oyo State Government said only three months and not six months are owed workers.

The statement added that every State in the federation owes workers salary deductions and the three months owed by Oyo State is the least.

According to the Commissioner, the NLC had shown over the years that they are in support of the present administration because of good governance, but asked them to reflect on the disposition of government to workers’ welfare.

While the July salaries have been paid in Oyo State, not less than 20 states including Ondo, Plateau, Benue and Bayelsa are owing several months of salaries in arrears, while several more including neighbouring states are owing months of deduction arrears.

Oyo State Government started the implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage three years ago, yet up till now many states are still struggling to pay the old wage.

While it is the Right and Entitlement of our workers to access their wages, especially at this tough times, Government implores them to reflect on the sincerity of purpose of this administration.

The statement said despite the challenges of paying wages, over 2,000 civil servants have been promoted, while almost 1,000 others have been converted to regular service.

For the records, Oyo State pays N7.3bn monthly as salaries, yet collects N5bn as Federal Allocation.

Because of this, all the N2.8bn raked in as Internally Generated Revenue IGR are ploughed back literally to service salaries.

Prince Oyelade said Government deserves a pat on the back, if in spite of this tightrope Government still embarks on such magnitude of infrastructural projects, that even the NLC has applauded numerously.

Eminent pundits, including the current Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki have predicted that no state will be able to pay salaries by the end of June this year because of the worsening shape of the economy but Oyo State due to the deft husbanding of the state resources by Gov Seyi Makinde has defied the doomsday prediction.

This is why the State Government is confident that the NLC will come to the negotiating table and together with Government chart a realistic path in balancing the welfare of the workers to which Government is obviously committed and the unpleasant economic indices that stare all of us in the face.

Meanwhile, the Oyo State Government urges workers to resume at their duty-posts, and continue the good work they are known for.

 News:  NLC and TUC Protest in Ibadan, Block Oyo Secretariat Entrance , 

 Eyewitness by  ( Ambassador Oyedeji Olusegun Abayomi CEO RBFD blogger)  

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.

 

Oyo First Lady Advocates Six Months Exclusive Breastfeeding For Babies.

By Ambassador Oyedeji Olusegun Abayomi CEO RBFD blogger

Wife of the Oyo State governor, Mrs. Tamunominini Makinde, has encouraged nursing mothers in the state to adopt exclusive breastfeeding for their babies in the first six months to ensure their optimal growth and good health.

Mrs. Makinde, who said this in commemoration of the World Breastfeeding Week, which takes off on Tuesday, said her office would be collaborating with the Nigerian Governors’ Wives Forum to sensitize nursing mothers on the need for them to imbibe the culture of exclusive breastfeeding for babiesbecause of the inherent benefits in it.

A statement from the Office of the Wife of the Governor indicated that Mrs. Makinde stressed the importance of a minimum of six months exclusive breastfeeding, saying“breast milk provides best nutrition for babies because it has the right amount of nutrients. It is easily digested and is readily available.”

Mrs. Makinde equally lauded the Oyo State government for approving six months maternity leave with pay for nursing mothers in the state.

She charged private organizations and other employers in the state to follow the footsteps of the State government by approving six months maternity leave with pay for all nursing mothers in their employment to ensure the wellbeing of infants.

The Governor’s wife noted that the difficulty associated with babies in the first six months of life is reduced when mothers stay close to their babies during the period.

She also stated that to make life easy for working nursing mothers in the state, the Government has a crèche at the Oyo State Secretariat Complex as well as in some other Government offices within and outside the State Secretariat.

Mrs. Makinde thus enjoined employers to do the same for their female staff so that it would be easy for them to take care of their babies while at work.

According to the statement, another feature of the World Breastfeeding Week is sensitizing Nigerians to the importance of home and school gardening, which is part of the ‘Operation Feed Yourself’ initiative of the Federal Government.

Mrs. Makinde then encouraged all Nigerians to see home and school gardening as a tool to fight food shortage in the country.

FIFA WWC: Super Falcons shock co-hosts Australia 3-2… top group B

Publiced by Ambassador Oyedeji CEO OOA GYM 

The Super Falcons of Nigeria came from a goal down to earn a stunning  3-2 win over co-hosts, Australia at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup Thursday.
It was the fifth win by the Super Falcons in the history of the tournament and a major upset in the 2023 World Cup.
The Aussies with more of the ball possession bombarded Nigeria relentlessly, but a solid defence mounted by Super Falcons prevented the Matildas from scoring an early goal.
However, Nigeria buckled under pressure in the closing stages of the first half as Foord set up Emilly van Egmond to give Australia the lead.
But the Super Falcons refused to lay down and be rolled over, Rasheedat Ajibade who had switched positions with Uchenna Kanu on left side scooped a high ball into the Australian box and Kanu jabbed in the ball on the dot of 45 minutes to level up scores.
Kanu who earlier in the game was seemingly fidgety with her touches silenced the home fans at the Brisbane Stadium.
The Super Falcons took the fight to the Matildas in the second half and in the 65th minute defender Ohale Osinachi gave Nigeria a 2-1 lead after bundling in the ball into the net off an Ajibade headed pass into the box. Osinachi needed treatment after collecting a kick to her mid section as she head in near the post.
Substitute Asisat Oshoala, who was not fit enough to start added the third goal from a difficult angle following a miscommunication from the Australian defence. She was booked for removing her shirt and revealing a bit of her cleaves.
Alanna Kennedy reduced the deficit for Australia in the stoppage time and their efforts to level up the game failed to yield results as Nigeria held on for a memorable victory that put the Super Falcons on top of the Group B pairing. Canada also with four points will play Australia next while the Super Falcons will play Ireland that have already lost two games in the last match of the group.
