Hope of civil servants in Osun State to receive backlog of their salary
arrears appears dimmed as the state government, on Tuesday,
demanded the presentation of their primary school certificates for
screening before the payment of their salaries.
Naijaloaded learnt that screening forms were given out to some of the
civil servants, on Tuesday, with specific instruction to attach photocopies
of their primary school certificates to the forms.
The development followed the decision of the state government to
organise another screening exercise to determine the actual number of
the state workforce, which is now to be handled by a consultant.
One of the top civil servants, who pleaded anonymity, informed
Naijaloaded that a bulletin on the presentation of primary school
certificates by workers would be out on Wednesday to inform civil
servants about the development.
Efforts to get the reaction of the director, Bureau of Communication and
Strategy to the governor, Mr Semiu Okanlawon, on the issue proved
abortive as calls put through to his phone were not answered and a text
message sent to him was not replied.
