The state leadership of TUC also charged Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu to immediately retool the finances of the state government to enable his administration settle salary arrears of workers from March, 2021 to date.

This is contained in a Communique issued at the end of the emergency Meeting of TUC’s State Executive Committee held in Akure.

The communique also called on the Ondo State government not to commence its implementation of enrolling workers into the State Health insurance scheme until all issues are resolved.

It listed the issues to be amount deductible, coverage areas of the scheme and until when arrears of salaries are fully paid and government resumes 100 percent salaries payment.
