Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State says the drop in allocations to
the state from the Federation Account is largely responsible for his
inability to pay his state civil servants their salaries. Aregbesola
said this after he received an award by the Voice of African Women for
Human Dignity, an NGO at Abuja yesterday July 24th.
"I have found it hard to pay the wage bills owing to the declining
federal allocation to the state. Federal allocation to the state has
reduced by 40 per cent since 2013, thereby making it difficult for my
government to meet its responsibilities,” he said.
