Shortly before the bikers came, there was the 3rd Quadrennial National Delegates Conference of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria also held in Abeokuta. An affiliate of the Trade Union Congress, TUC, the delegates’ conference drew attendance from all the states of the federation

According to the party, the fact that Governor Amosun did not declare June 13 as public holiday for the celebration of the anniversary of the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election, purportedly won by the late Chief MKO Abiola, who was from the state, but which was annulled by ex-Military President Ibrahim Babangida, is an indication that Amosun is not a democrat after all

But from whichever perspective he is viewed, one thing is however constant and that is the fact that Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor of Ogun State is one man who constantly shy away from accolades, awards and recognitions inspite of the fact that his achievements in office in the last five years, easily recommend him for many of such

In spite of the fact that they are fortunate to belong to one of the very few states in the federation currently able to pay salaries as and when due, some civil servants in the employ of the Ogun State Government recently embarked on a strike action to press home their demand for the payment of their cooperative deductions

According to a release signed by the Head of Service, Elder Sola Adeyemi: “The application of the ‘no work, no pay’ rule followed the refusal of the striking workers to heed appeals from government and well-meaning indigenes of the state and the refusal of the labour unions to consider all entreaties to end the industrial action so that the state might be in a position to generate resources for the benefit of the workers and generality of the citizens
