‘No return to modulated salary in Osun’

Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola

The Supervisor, Osun State Ministry of Information and Strategy, Mr Adelani Baderinwa has said it was untrue that the state government intends to return to the era of modulated salary, also known as half salaries.

In a press statement released by Baderinwa on Saturday, he said it had come to the notice of the state government that some individuals and members of the opposition party were trying to incite the civil servants against the state government on payment of salary.

He said, “The rumoured return of modulated salary remains a rumour and there is no iota of truth in it.

“ Gov. Gboyega Oyetola had during the presentation of 2019 budget declared that the era of modulated salary payment is gone, and we are happy to reaffirm that the governor is still more committed to his statement of striving to pay full salary to civil servants.

“ We would also like to state that Gov. Oyetola would not in anyway take any arbitrary decision on matters affecting the civil servants.

“If any decision is going to be taken on welfare of the workers, it is going to be a joint decision where all the labour leaders will be carried along and would be given the opportunity to take the best decision for their members.’’
