…Commission new project in the university
*By Oluniyi Isamotu
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state and the Visitor to the state owned university (UNIOSUN) has announced a salary increment for the members of staff of the Osun State University.
The Governor made this known on Saturday in the state capital at the 14th Convocation Ceremony of the school.
In his address, Governor Ademola Adeleke said his administration has continually priorities the welfare of the people and in understanding the challenges posed by the removal of fuel subsidies, he is giving the approval of 25% and 35% Increment of salaries to both the teaching and non-teaching staff of the University while also paying one year salary arrears of members of staff of the University.
“In line with our commitment to the welfare of our citizens and the development of education in Osun State, we have approved a 25% and 35% salary increase for all teaching and non-teaching staff of this University, and we promptly paid a year’s arrears to the staff members. We have also paid palliative allowances to all workers and are currently working on the modalities for the implementation of the newly approved minimum wage.”
“We understand the challenges posed by the removal of fuel subsidies, and I want to assure our staff that we are not oblivious to your struggles. We are doing everything within our power to mitigate the impact on your lives. We remain committed to ensuring you receive the support you deserve, within the limits of the law.”
“As a government that prioritizes the welfare of its people, we have consistently supported this University in achieving its vision and mission. We recognize the vital role this institution plays in the development of our state, and we remain committed to supporting it in every possible way.”
“I wish to reiterate that the State Government fully supports the Governing Council and Management of this University in all staff welfare matters. However, I must caution that staff members should not take this support for granted. They should not, under any guise, political or ideological, seek to cause trouble over any welfare matter that has already been resolved by the Governing Council. The Council makes decisions within the provisions of the law.”
Speaking further, Governor Adeleke said, “In the past year, our government has demonstrated its serious commitment by granting various approvals. We supported the completion of a long-abandoned office complex at the Isale-Osun campus to meet the University’s accreditation requirements for health-related programs. We also supported the construction of the ultra-modern Anatomy Complex, which we commissioned earlier today. Additionally, we have prioritized the construction of roads leading to student areas, such as the one near the Sasa Market, and other campuses.
” I urge the Vice-Chancellor and other University leaders to maintain the spirit of transparency, accountability, and value for money. I also assure you of increased Government support to ensure the progressive development of the University continues unhindered.
While giving his word of admonition to the students, graduands and parents at the 14th Convocation Ceremony of the university, Governor Adeleke said, “To all staff and students, I urge you to remain steadfast in your responsibilities and to continue serving your motherland with dedication. The progress of this great institution can only be sustained through a peaceful and harmonious environment. Let us avoid unnecessary rancour and acrimony. Instead, let us focus on advancing this institution.
” To the parents and guardians gathered here today, I encourage you to continue guiding your children as they step into the next phase of their lives. They are your future, and your counsel will be crucial as they face new challenges. Encourage them to further their education, if possible, and to apply the knowledge they have gained here to solve society’s pressing problems. Support them in becoming problem solvers, not just problem identifiers or problem creators. Their education should be a tool for positive change, and I am confident they will rise to the occasion.
” To our happy graduates, today marks the beginning of a new chapter in your lives. As you step out of these hallowed halls, remember that the world needs your talents, skills, and innovative ideas. Be courageous, be resilient, and above all, be agents of change. Whether you choose to further your education, join the workforce, or even enter politics, do so with the aim of making a positive difference. Our nation needs bright minds like yours to steer it toward a brighter future. I strongly believe you can!
” I wish you all success in your future endeavours. May you go forth and shine as proud ambassadors of Osun State University and of this great nation.”
