For 3,117 ad-hoc workers who served as COVID-19 facilitators during the pandemic’s peak, smiled on Saturday, February 10 as they visited the Osun State headquarters of the Public Complaints Commission.
Their faces beamed with gratitude for the Commission’s swift intervention and resolution of their long-standing complaint: non-payment of wages.
These workers had exhausted all avenues, reaching out to media outlets, staging protests, and visiting other agencies, yet their pleas went unheard. But the Public Complaints Commission listened and delivered justice.
“We came here with heavy hearts,” said one representative, his voice trembling with emotion. “Today, we leave with smiles wide enough to light up the whole state. Thank you, Public Complaints Commission!”
The Commission’s Director of Investigation, welcomed the visitors with open arms. “We are here for every person who feels unjustly treated,” The Director declared, praising the Team Head Mr Osagie Michael Ayokunle and His Team who worked tirelessly on the case.
Hon. Sojo Asolo, the Federal Commissioner for Osun State, expressed his appreciation for their visit. “But your gratitude shouldn’t end here,” he emphasized. “Go tell others about the good work the Public Complaints Commission does. Together, we can ensure justice for all.”
The Officer in Charge of the Complaints Mr Osagie Michael Ayokunle said This victory wasn’t isolated and The Commission has a proven track record of resolving similar complaints, helping countless citizens obtain rightful compensation and fair treatment. He added if anyone is faced with administrative injustice, they should remember that the Public Complaints Commission is just a step away. Let’s all work together to build a society where justice prevails.
