Protesting Oyo state civil servants in the early hours of Monday, blocked the gate to the state government secretariat.
The workers blocked the entrance into the state’s powerhouse to demand an audience with Governor Seyi Makinde over issues affecting their service to the state.
They are demanding palliatives, upward review of pension allowances, and payment of salary deduction, amongst others.
Workers from various trade unions in the state, including the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), the Trade Union Congress (TUC), the Nigerian Union of Pensioners (NUP), the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) and their affiliate bodies were all present at the rally.
The workers are also demanding payment of leave bonuses, gratuities to retirees that have stagnated since 2021 and the release of promotion letters for the years 2021 and 2022.
