The Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola has dispelled rumours that workers of the state who have been owed salaries for the past eight months will have to present their primary school certificate as part as a staff audit process that will make them eligible to receive the salaries owed.
In a twitter chat with social media influencer Japheth Omojuwa, Aregbesola said the workers will be paid before the end of the month and they will not need to present primary school certificates before they get their money.

The governor also promised to pay the outstanding salaries of corps members.
All outstanding payments are being processed. We only ask for a more little patience on this. #JJMeetsOgbeni https://t.co/56ilYZ0vEI
