Gov. Adeleke disapproved of the delay in the November compensation on Thursday, December 1, 2022, and mandated that the wage schedule be presented to the appropriate agency within 24 hours.

The governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, claims that the directive was delivered after receiving a briefing from the State Ministry of Finance.

He made it clear that senior ministry officials had attributed the delay in compensation payments to some agencies’ failure to immediately submit their wage plans.

Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has begun paying wages to state workers.

On Monday, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke’s spokesperson, tweeted a message on his verified Twitter account.

Adeleke also noted that “any Ministry, Department or Agency that fails to submit its salary schedule latest today (Monday) will be sanctioned. Any agency head who obstructs the process of scheduling will face disciplinary procedures.”

“This warning is the sequel to the report that some agencies are still holding unto their agency’s schedules despite the directive of His Excellency.

“Governor Ademola Adeleke had last week directed immediate conclusion of documentation for payment of salaries. This was a consequence of a report that about 45 agencies are yet to submit their payment schedule.

“Presently, the payment of salaries is ongoing starting with the Ministry of Justice,” the statement added.
