Obokun LGA Chairman, Maaroof Ogundipe Clears 10-Month Salary Arrears of Casual, Health Workers; Promises Improved Welfare

The Chairman of Obokun Local Government Area, Engr. Maaroof Ogundipe, has approved and completed the payment of 10 months’ outstanding salary arrears owed to casual and health workers of the council, ending months of uncertainty and hardship for the affected workers and their families.

The intervention represents a major relief for grassroots workers who had gone unpaid after being disengaged during the tenure of the defunct local government caretaker committee imposed on the council by the state government under the Adeleke administration.
Speaking on the development, Engr. Ogundipe described the clearance of the arrears as a moral duty and a clear demonstration of his administration’s commitment to people-centred governance and social justice.

“These workers are not just staff of the council; they are heads of families and vital contributors to the smooth running of our local government. It is unacceptable for them to be owed for months. Clearing these arrears is about restoring dignity, compassion, and responsible leadership,” the chairman said.

He further assured that the payment of the arrears is the first step in a broader plan to strengthen workers’ welfare, stressing that his administration is determined to implement a more sustainable and inclusive welfare package for all categories of council employees.

“Our focus going forward is job security, improved welfare, and prompt payment of salaries and entitlements. The wellbeing of our workers will remain central to governance in Obokun,” Ogundipe added.

Beneficiaries of the payment have commended the chairman for what they described as a timely and uplifting intervention, noting that the gesture has brought renewed hope amid the prevailing economic challenges.

The Obokun Local Government leadership reiterated its resolve to rebuild trust in grassroots administration and ensure that workers’ welfare remains a top priority of the Ogundipe-led government.

By Ismail Omipidan  This particularly piece, is deliberately not going to be a long one. It is a follow-up to the part One and Two that I shared last year. This very intervention is necessited by my appearance as a Public Affairs Analyst on News Central TV last night , where i discussed the same subject matter. It also forms part of my continued effort to contribute meaningfully to political discourse by promoting accurate information and countering the spread of unverified claims, half-truths, and propaganda. For clarity, I have presented my submissions in bullet points, titled “15 Points to Know on the Osun Local Government Crisis.” Here are the points:  1. Governor Ademola Adeleke lied when he claimed he did not sack the council chairmen and councillors he met when he assumed office.   2. On the 28th of November,  2022, barely 24 hours after his swearing-in, his CPS, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, issued a statement directing the most senior career heads ac...

_30th January,2026_ Osun Local Government Workers are allegedly asking who will help prevail on Ademola Adeleke administration on behalf of some selectively victimized local government officials, especially at this time that the administration is behaving like a mad bull in a china shop?  According to reports,virtually all Local Government officials who they perceived as not heeding their wicked calls not to support the All Progressive Congress (APC) political officials currently in charge of at the local government are being punished with suspension from work using dubious charges. In the civil service, it is a common occurrence for employees who err to be formally queried, suspended, or terminated by their employers following rigorous disciplinary proceedings. What may be deemed unusual under civil service rules and regulations is the suspension of local government staff on dubious grounds. It is noteworthy that Osun Local Government staff were suspended by the Local ...
