The weeklong strike and protest embarked upon by workers has come to an end following an agreement reached between Labour and Governor Seyi Makinde.
The civil servants shunned work since July 31 to protest the non-payment of salary deductions, leave bonuses and also to demand a review of pension allowances.
They also demanded that Governor Makinde addresses them directly on all contentious issues before they would call of the strike.
Consequently, Gov. Makinde begged the workers to resume to work as the one-week protest had impacted the state’s Internally Generated Revenue negatively, and pledged that quarterly meetings would be held with union leaders to address workers’ demands.
In his remarks, NLC chairman in Oyo State, Kayode Martins, said that the unions decided to end the protest because the governor had yielded to some of their demands.
