Ogun Nurses Commend Gov. Abiodun for Implementing New Health Salary Structure

Nurses employed by the Ogun State Government have expressed their gratitude to Governor Dapo Abiodun for the payment of the new minimum wage and the implementation of the 25 percent Consolidated Health Salary Structure (CONHESS) adjustment.
Mr. Abiodun Olakanmi, Director of Nursing Services at the Ogun State Hospitals Management Board, commended the governor during the 2024 End of the Year Party and Interactive Session. The event, organized by the Abeokuta Health Zone’s Nursing Department Continuing Education and Social Welfare Unit, took place at the College of Nursing Hall, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta on Tuesday.
Olakanmi acknowledged the positive impact of the salary adjustments, noting that they have significantly improved nurses’ pay and narrowed the wage gap between Ogun State nurses and their federal counterparts.
He stated, “Our nurses’ salary has appreciated with the payment of the new minimum wage and CONHESS adjustment, bridging the wide gap between their salaries and that of nurses at the federal level.”
The Ogun State Chairman of the National Association of Nurses and Midwives, Mrs. Adejoke Bello, also extended her gratitude to members for their commitment to professionalism. She urged nurses to prioritize self-care, as caregiving can often become overwhelming.
Similarly, Mrs. Oluremi Mosuro, Deputy Director of the Department of Nursing Services, praised Governor Abiodun for his attention to the welfare of nurses. She encouraged nurses to remain dedicated to their service, emphasizing that “to whom much is given, much is expected.”
The nurses’ commendations highlight the positive effects of the governor’s policies on the healthcare sector, as they pledge to maintain improved service delivery.

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
