Osun state Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has welcomed the call by Sally Tibbot Limited on the anti-corruption agencies to review the controversial Osun State Staff Audit Report.
In a statement by his Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the Governor said both the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, are free to review the audit report.
Governor Adeleke noted that what anti-corruption agencies will be checking and reviewing was the inherited payroll and personnel list from the former governor Oyetola’s administration.
“Our administration did not and has not expanded the personnel and payroll structures inherited from the last administration. Moreover, what was audited was the payroll and personnel structure under Oyetola’s administration.
The Governor said he should be commended for not accepting the recommendations of the consultant to lay off legitimate workers for the consultant’s personal gain.
He pointed out that his administration stopped likely fraud even while pushing to clean up the system.
