The Trade Union Congress (TUC),
Oyo
State Council, is to observe a one -day
warning strike from Monday, to press
home its demands.
This is contained in a statement signed
by the TUC Secretary, Oyo State Council,
John Alli. The statement was released on
Tuesday.
The union decried the non-payment of
salaries of civil servants in the state
and all outstanding arrears of federal
civil servants. According to the statement, the TUC
has given Gov. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo
State, a 15-day ultimatum to pay the six
months’ salary arrears due to the state
civil servants or resign from office.
The statement called on philanthropists, clerics and well-
meaning Nigerians and the
international community to save the
soul of Oyo civil servants through the
distribution of foods and other relief materials.
