Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, said his administration has put to end the payment of half salaries to workers in the state.
He disclosed that his administration inherited about 80 per cent infrastructural deficit from the immediate past administration of the state.
Adeleke spoke at programme organised by the Osun Development Association in Lagos, adding that, his administration has ended half salary payment to workers.
Adeleke, represented by the Group Managing Director, Odua Investment Company Limited, Chief Lai Orilowo, said almost all the projects not completed by his predecessor had been completed.
He added that workers and pensioners were being paid their entitlement appropriately.
He said: “We are paying back the diverted contributory pensions of our senior citizens. Our pensioners are registered for a health insurance scheme with the state paying the bills. We have reformed the public service and have ensured regular payment of salaries and promotion arrears.
“In Osun, there is a nexus between the formal and informal workforce. So, taking care of public servants boosts, enlivens, and strengthens the informal workforce in the state,” he said.
“I am also completing most abandoned projects inherited from my predecessor."
