Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has assured Osun citizens that he will fight back the dwindling trend of financial crisis which hit the country.

Aregbesola said this while speaking with journalists at the praying ground in Osogbo after the eid-il-fitri prayer. Aregbesola stated that with the commencement of payment of salary arrears, his government had also commenced the repositioning of the state for the better. He added that the financial crisis was not caused by his administration.

He promised that workers’ welfare would continue to be the top priority on his administration’s agenda.

“Our government is better prepared to reverse the downward developmental trend forced on the state by the downturn in national economy and it’s attendant financial crisis of the past six months.

“I want our people, particularly the workers, to know that ease, happiness, joy, prosperity will always come if we demonstrate humility, stand firm in our faith, preach patience and love and remain on the path of God.” Aregbesola said.
