Oyo State Government has declared as “illegal” the three-day warning strike embarked upon by its workers and urged them to resume work immediately. A statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, (SSG), Mr Olalekan Alli on Thursday threatened to effect no-work-no-pay rule on erring workers. The government also debunked the allegation of the labour leaders that it owed pensioners several months and retired primary school teachers 56 months of gratuities. But the government said, “By the laws setting up the tertiary institutions, the government is not responsible for the payment of salaries of workers in those institutions. “The recent forensic audit reports on the tertiary institutions revealed a great deal of shortcomings such as inefficiencies, leakages, poor management, and other ineptitudes.
