Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, has approved seven major demands of the Joint Labour Movement in the state.
In his Workers’ Day speech yesterday at the Osogbo City Stadium, Gov Oyetola announced the approval of the implementation of the cash-backing of outstanding promotions for all categories of workers and full implementation of the Consolidated Polytechnics and Colleges of Education Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONPCASS).
He also announced the immediate implementation of 65 years retirement age for all categories of workers in tertiary institutions.
The governor also ordered the immediate commencement of the process of domestication of 65 years retirement age or 40 years length of service for teachers in the state and the commencement of the process of reverting from the current council manager to head of local government administration and head of department to director at the local government level.
The approval was also given to establishment matters; that is conduct of outstanding promotions nominally from 2019 to date, regularisation, advancement and conversion, among others, while approval was also made on the appointment of permanent secretaries in due course to put an end to the use of coordinating directors in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
The state’s Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Jacob Adekomi, said the express approval of the seven demands of workers was a clear testimony that indeed the governor meant well for the workers.
