Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun, has described the withdrawal of services by local government workers in Council areas in the state, as pathetic and unfortunate.

Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, said the action of the workers had plunged the local government areas in the state into administrative paralysis, inflicting untold pain on the people at the grassroots

The APC chieftain while speaking with journalists on Sunday in Osogbo, appealed to workers to immediately return to work and save the council areas from total collapse.
Oyintiloye, said that provision of certain essential services in the last one month at the local government across the state had been crippled due to the withdrawal of services by the workers.

He also said that clinics, primary health care centres, marriage registries, and administrative offices at the local government had been shut, subjecting pregnant women, students, and potential couples, among others, to untold hardship.

Oyintiloye said many pregnant women at the grassroots could not access their routine immunisation, while many applicants who needed documentation necessary to apply for federal jobs could not also access the secretariats.

He said since there were elected council chairmen in the council areas, there was no point for the local government workers to abscond from work.

Oyintiloye called on the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, NUGLE, and the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, in the state not to allowed themselves to be used to frustrate local government administration in the state.

According to him, “since both unions are supposed to be apolitical, they should uphold the tenets of their creation and which is to serve all government in power.
