Confirming the development in a statement on his X handle, he said the 13th-month salary has been a practice since his assumption of office in 2019.

“At the inauguration of the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital Governing Council this morning, I confirmed that the arrears on minimum wage which I promised at the end of September this year will be paid with the December salary.

“I also stated that we will pay a 13th-month salary to workers in Oyo State as we have done since 2019,” he wrote.

He assured all that he would soon resolve the issue of the institution’s medical lecturers embarking on strike.

He charged the newly inaugurated governing board to revamp the Oyo annexe of the teaching hospital within 12 months, promising the state government’s support to make the facility fully operational.
