He urged the governor to address their demands by May 31 or risk an industrial crisis in the state.

“It is therefore alarming, shocking and bizarre when it was discovered that the Secretary/Head of the Legislative Service, the Deputy Secretary and the Executive Secretary of the Assembly Service Commission, who are all of our members, were not only denied their salaries due, in line with the Ogun State Assembly Service Commission Act, 2018, section 10(2) 13 and 14, but other allowances attached to their office were also denied.
“Consistent with the above appeal and the request from the Ogun State Chapter of PASAN demanding the full implementation of CONLESS and all the accompanying allocations in their March 2013 letters, the National Leadership would like to reiterate our strong support for the clarion call that “Your demands be addressed on or before May 31, 2023”, which failure to comply may allow Our union to pursue the objective of other legitimate actions available.
“Sir, while you continue to appeal through this medium to use your good office to address this issue in time, please accept our unwavering consideration.”
