Osun State government has said primary school leaving certificate was not a condition for the payment of areas of salaries to workers.
The Head of Service (HOS), Mr. Sunday Owoeye, who spoke yesterday in a programme monitored in Osogbo, on the state television, Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC), described as mischievous and incorrect, a media report that the state had asked workers to present their primary school certificate before the arrears of salaries would be paid.
The HOS said the circular sent out by the government was not meant for the payment of salaries, but for the monitoring and control within the civil service.
Owoeye said the verification of workers under a normal civil service situation was an exercise that was supposed to be carried out yearly.
