Adeleke Administration Releases Fresh Palliative Support for Civil Servants

The Osun State Government has commenced another round of palliative payments to civil servants as part of ongoing efforts to support workers amid the country's economic challenges. The development was announced on Wednesday by Governor Ademola Adeleke's spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, in a statement shared on the state's official X account. Rasheed said the latest payment underscores the administration's continued commitment to improving the welfare of public servants, whom he described as a vital part of the state's development. According to him, the state introduced periodic palliative payments even before implementing the new national minimum wage, placing Osun among the first states to provide such support to its workforce. The government also highlighted what it described as a clear difference between the current administration's approach to workers' welfare and that of its predecessor, stating that it is focused on ensuring civil servants receive their salaries and entitlements promptly. It added that the sustained palliative programme is aimed at boosting staff morale, restoring confidence in the public service, attracting skilled personnel, and improving service delivery across the state.
