The Ondo State civil servants are set to begin embark on an indefinite strike on Wednesday if the state government refuse to meet their request which includes the payment of all outstanding deductions made from their salaries for months.

This was said by the State Chairman of the Joint Public Service Negotiating Council, Comrade Sunday Adeleye, while speaking with journalists on Monday, in Akure, the state capital. Adeleye stated that the industrial action will start on Wednesday after the seven-day ultimatum given to the state government last week which will end on Tuesday by the civil servants.

 “We have been meeting with the representatives of the state government since last week after issuing a statement of a seven-day ultimatum and it was all deadlock.

“But if by Tuesday, the state government fails to yield to our demand, the union will have no other option than to call a congress by Wednesday and a total strike action be declared.”

However, Adeleye had earlier described the non-payment of all deductions from the salary of the workers’ as government’s insensitivity to the plight of civil servants in the state.
