The AGG also called on the Governor to ensure that the remaining arrears are paid as soon as possible.


Similarly, the state chapter of the Nigerian Youth Congress (NYC) said that the approval was "a major step in the right direction" and "an exhibition of the Governor's love to the people of Osun."


The NYC Chairman, Akinboode also called on the Governor to continue to prioritize the welfare of workers in the state.


The approval of the half salary arrears is the latest in a series of steps taken by Governor Adeleke to improve the welfare of workers in the state.


In the past few months, the Governor has continued to approve the payment of backlog of salaries owed by the APC Administration to civil servants, as well as the payment of backlogs of pension arrears.


These actions have been welcomed by civil servants and other stakeholders in the state, who have expressed their appreciation to the Governor for his commitment to the welfare of workers.


The approval of the half salary arrears is a further demonstration of Governor Adeleke's commitment to democracy and good governance.
