Oyo State Government has rebuffed a new salary structure news circulated on the social media a superb fake.
The refuttal came on Wednesday in a press statement made available to newsmen in the state signed by the chief press secretary to the governor of Oyo State, Mr Sulaiman Olanrewaju.
The statement added that even though the government is reviewing its workers’ current salary structure, the committee set up for that purpose is yet to turn in its report.
Meanwhile, Governor Makinde has stated that the salary structure being circulated did not emanate from the state government and thus be disregarded in its entirety.
Recall that sequel to the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), the state government set up a committee comprising leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the Trade Union Congress (TUC) as well as some government officials to come up with a new salary structure that would reflect the new realities in the country while the committee has eight weeks to report back to the state government.
Meanwhile, as a way of cushioning the effect of subsidy removal on Oyo State residents as a whole, the governor, Engr Seyi Makinde, has mandated massive deployment of more Omituntun buses to ease the transportation worries of the citizens. He also directed that there should be no increase in the fare paid on these buses, while school children and senior citizens are to pay half-price.
