A representative of the Civil Societies Coalition for Emancipation Of Osun, Seun Adeoye, says that the state has been suffering from a lot of issues asides salaries of workers.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Mr. Adeoye revealed that for some time the courts and schools have been closed as a result of the monies being owed by the state.
Claiming that the state was owing about 128 billion naira, he feared that the issue of debt has also become a major problem in the state.
“What is in Osun State is more than the issue of salary, it is about the future of the state in its entirety and if care is not taken I am not sure that state can recover in the next 20 years,” he said.
He explained that the Civil Societies Coalition for Emancipation have tried to hold peaceful rallies to show their displeasure but they were disrupted by the Police.
Mr Adeoye noted that a petition has also been sent to the Osun State House of Assembly but to no avail.
He, however, vowed that the civil society groups would continue to try until the issues are resolved.
