– These are dire times for Governor Olusegun Mimiko and Ondo state
– Due to the state’s dwindling resources, Governor Mimiko for the first time, can’t pay salaries
– A situation that has led him to take extraordinary measures
Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo state has joined environmental workers in the state to ensure that the state caital, Akure and its environs are clean.
The governor made the move because of the indfeinite strike embarked upon by workers in the state due to accumulated unpaid salary arrears.
The governor who told all present that he was carrying out the assignment in order to prevent the outbreak of diseases in the state, appealed to the workers to call off the strike and consider his government’s commitment not to retrench any worker in spite of the dwindling resources of the state.
