N3.4 billion Debt: Ex-council officials reignite battle against Oyo govt over outstanding emoluments

Former local government chairpersons and councils in Oyo State have accused the state government of refusing to pay their outstanding salaries and other entitlements.

Representatives of the about 800 former council officials said in a statement Sunday that 26 of their members have died due to inability to afford healthcare.

In May 2021, the Supreme Court ordered the Oyo State government to pay the erstwhile council officials their outstanding emoluments.
