Akure—ONDO State government and the opposition All Progressives Congress APC in the state yesterday disagreed over the workers strike and the unpaid five months salaries.

The opposition party in a statement issued by its Director of Media and Publicity, Steve Otaloro, said the workers were justified embarking on the strike because the state government mis-managed the bailout fund given to it by the Federal Government last year .

Otaloro said; “It was unfortunate and regrettable that the special intervention bailout fund by the Federal Government of about N15 billion meant for the payment of workers salaries arrears in the state was squandered by the Mimiko government on irrelevances.

But in a swift reaction, Information Commissioner, Kayode Akinmade alleged that the Federal Government  caused economic crisis that led to inability of states to pay workers salaries.
