The Ondo State Government today effected the payment of the August arrears balance of the new subventions to the four state-owned tertiary institutions in Ondo State.
This payment marks the commencement of the implementation of the 60% increment on subventions to the institutions, aimed at meeting up with salary obligations and improving welfare.
Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa therefore appeals to the striking unions of the institutions to, in good faith, call off the strike and return to work in the interest of our students and the overall development of the state.
Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Ondo State.
