Osun State Government Disburses Another Round Of Palliatives To Civil Servants, Reaffirms Commitment To Workers Welfare

…State ranks among first to implement new minimum wage while maintaining periodic support measures

The Osun State Government has once again disbursed palliatives to civil servants across the state, underscoring its unwavering commitment to supporting the backbone of the state’s public administration.

The spokesperson of Governor Ademola Adeleke disclosed that this latest disbursement forms part of the administration’s holistic approach to continue improving the welfare of public servants, particularly in mitigating the effects of economic pressures on their livelihoods.

“As part of our commitment to civil servants of Osun State, the backbone of our administration, we have once again disbursed palliatives to augment their salaries,” the spokesperson stated. “Notably, we commenced periodic palliative payments even before implementing the new minimum wage increase, which positioned Osun as one of the first states in the federation to do so.”

The statement highlighted the stark contrast between the current administration’s pro-worker policies and the approach of its predecessor. “This stands in stark contrast to the previous administration, which weaponized poverty and systematically deprived civil servants of their earned salaries and entitlements. Our government is committed to ensuring that those who serve the state are treated with dignity and provided with their rightful compensation.”

The Governor’s office reiterated that these measures are part of a broader agenda to restore public sector morale and attract competent personnel to government service, ultimately enhancing service delivery to Osun citizens.
