The Oyo State workers, on Monday, locked the state secretariat in Ibadan to demand palliatives, upward review of pension allowances and payment of salary deduction. Speaking on their demands, Chairman, Oyo TUC, Mr Bosun Olabiyi said it was baffling that over six months deductions were still being withheld by the state government.

Also, we have pensioners earning N350 per month so we want pension review.
