For two weeks, workers in the State have embarked on an indefinite strike over non-payment of their five months salaries.
The Speaker, who was responding to an allegation raised by the labour leaders thatthe state government has money in several accounts operated by the government, said she was not aware that the government has many accountS.
Akindele said “It is not our responsibility toknow how many accounts Ondo government operates.“Due to this, we don’t know the state of Ondo State finance but you union leaders can help us with the list.”
She, however, appealed to workers to allow fresh negotiation to commence in order to end the two-week- old industrial action
