Rauf Aregbesola Blames FG For Osun State's Inability To Pay Workers Salary

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.

GANI ADAMS LAMENTS OVER AREPO DEATHS

We sympathize with the people of Arepo community in Ogun State, and indeed Nigerians, on Wednesday’s pipeline fire, which killed more than 100 people. The loss of lives of any number is indeed very sad. For us, this is yet another national disaster to befall our nation.
In the last one month, similar deaths were recorded in Ikorodu, Ijedodo, both in Lagos, and in Bayelsa State, all as a result of the activities of pipeline vandals. 
While we commiserate with the nation over the loss of lives in these places, it must be noted that the activities of the vandals were permanently restricted for the period of three months that our men protected the pipelines.

Sometime in August 2013, we visited this desolate Island in preparation for development, it took over an hour to get a bottle of soft drink from a neighbouring community for the project manager who broke down as a result of low blood sugar. Yes – not a very pleasant experience.

In September 2013, we marched into this jungle with a squad of over 3000 skilled and unskilled labour, who worked tirelessly to open up this city in 360 days. The uninhabited Island featured strange and unfriendly animals, very tick forest and no activity whatsoever. This has surely been one of the most challenging projects of the Group.
