Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, has said he would ensure that the state clears the four-month salary arrears being owed its workers.

Mr. Ajimobi said this on Sunday in a statement by his Special Adviser, Communication and Strategy, Yomi Layinka.

The governor, in a congratulatory message released on the occasion of this year’s Workers’ Day, assured the state workers that he feels their pains in the face of the biting economic dictates.

Mr. Ajimobi urged the workers to continue to put in their very best and key into the state government’s reform agenda aimed at enhancing productivity and ultimately increase the internally generated revenue.

“We will spare no effort to ensure that we clear the four-month salary arrears. I urge you to play your part dutifully to achieve this,” he said.

“No doubt, times are hard because of the pervading poor state of the economy. I feel your pains and I’m optimistic that we shall soon sing a new song of prosperity and abundance. May none of you be missing by that time,” he added.
