Unpaid salaries: Osun Speaker seeks Buhari’s support

The Speaker of the Osun State
House of Assembly, Mr. Najeem
Salaam, has appealed to President
Muhammadu Buhari to bail out
states that are unable to pay their
workers’ salaries and pensions.
The Speaker said this on Friday in a
statement issued by his media
aide, Mr. Goke Butika, to
congratulate the President and his
Vice, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo ( SAN).
He said the bailout would allow the
masses at the grassroots to feel the
impact of the new government.
The Speaker said many states had
not been paying their workers
regularly due to the drastic
reduction in their allocations
because of the drop in the oil price,
adding that the states needed the
Federal Government’s assistance to
solve the problem.
The statement read, “The fixing of
Nigeria should begin with the
bailing out of the states that could
not pay salaries so that people at
the grassroots can have a sigh of
relief.
“It will go a long way for the Buhari
presidency to have a consultative
meeting with all governors and
listen to them with a view to
developing a road map that would
facilitate mutual solutions to the
challenges facing the states.”
Salaam also urged governors
irrespective of their political
parties to key into the programmes
of the new President.
He expressed satisfaction with
Buhari’s inaugural speech, noting
that the speech touched all spheres
of governance and was loaded with
hope.
