The Ondo State Government has reached an agreement with university unions in the state over a lingering wage dispute. According to the governor’s aide, the resolution followed a series of negotiations aimed at addressing the concerns of academic and non-academic staff in state-owned institutions.
The unions had earlier raised issues regarding salary arrears, improved welfare packages, and better working conditions. After several meetings, both parties agreed on a framework that will ensure gradual payment of outstanding entitlements and improved funding for the institutions.
The governor’s aide emphasized that the agreement demonstrates the administration’s commitment to fostering industrial harmony and prioritizing education. He noted that the resolution will help restore stability in the academic calendar and prevent further disruptions in the universities.
Union leaders welcomed the development, describing it as a step toward building trust and ensuring that workers’ welfare remains central to government policies.
