According to him, Monday stay-at-home has evolved into an excuse for employees not to report to work on Mondays, and this cannot continue.
Recently, soludo increased employee compensation by 10%.
You cannot work only four days per week and earn a full salary. On Monday, we must resume working for the government. If we miss work, we should not receive our full pay. We must receive compensation proportional to the number of days worked. If we must continue to skip work on Mondays, Saturday work must be supervised.
“You must do your work, and we cannot work for 70% of our pay and earn 110%.” “We will reduce your pay if you do not report to work on Monday,” he said.
Over the past year, the state government has been operating with a budget deficit of N88 billion, according to the governor.

According to Soludo, the budget for 2023 was based on N4 billion in monthly internally generated revenue, but the state has only been generating N2 billion.
Additionally, he stated that the state was supposed to receive N5 billion from the federal government, but is receiving less.
Soludo urged the employees to generate revenue for the government in order for the state to take care of the workers’ welfare and other pressing issues.
The governor stated that he is under pressure to increase salaries and reduce the workforce, and he urged labour leaders to examine the proposal.
