Waheed Olojede, Chairman Nigeria Labor Congress(NLC), Oyo State chapter has said that the agonizing workers of the state are waiting on President Muhammadu  Buhari to bail out them out of the ongoing salary crisis.

Olojede told the Galaxy News in an exclusive interview in Ibadan on Sunday that the state workers are in a pathetic situation. We are waiting for the president to intervene in the crisis so that the state could resolve unpaid workers' salaries; Correspondent Adisa Winlade has the details, his reports.

Our Correspondent gathered that Oyo State government currently owns workers accumulated salaries of three months.

Olojede, who said that the NLC has been dialoguing with the state government to find solution to the problem, opined that the president in the spirit of new beginning in the country, would need to come to workers' aid.

The lab our activist, who said that the workers understood the situation on ground concerning paucity funds available to the state government, assured that as soon as the next allocation from FAC comes, workers would get their salaries for March and April.

He said that the NLC decided to suspend the last strike because labour believed that if the government reneges on its promise to pay workers across board, It would always go back on the action.

Some people accused labour that by suspending the strike, we have been compromised. It is not true because it is not in the history of NLC in Oyo State to compromise,. Speaking on the ultimatum the Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP)gave to government Abiola Ajimobi ,Olojede said it was not time to do so, adding that the situation on ground does not call for that.

 "It was the right of the pensioners to press home the demand for the payment of their unpaid,

I think with the ultimatum, government would know that it has an irritation at hand concerning the pension of the retirees", he said

The labour leader, therefore, called on the state government to pay up pensoners' entitlements.
