Oyo State Broadcaster Under Fire for Salary Delays and Alleged Asset Stripping

Oyo State Broadcaster Under Fire for Salary Delays and Alleged Asset Stripping

The Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State is on the brink of collapse as employees struggle with months of unpaid salaries. Staff only just received their May pay in July, prompting criticism that the delay is a breach of workers’ rights and a failure of governance. More alarming are allegations that state-owned generators, broadcast equipment and office assets were sold off without proper procedure. Observers warn that such irregular disposals point to deep-rooted financial recklessness and opaque administration. Stakeholders are calling on Governor Seyi Makinde to step in. They demand an independent forensic audit of recent transactions, full transparency from the broadcaster’s board and a clear recovery plan to restore regular pay, protect assets and rebuild public confidence.

The prolonged salary delays at the state broadcaster point to systemic failures, not just occasional budget hiccups by the government.

You're right, these delays look entrenched. It's more than a one-off hiccup; something must change to fix it.

While asset stripping allegations sound serious, we still lack clear proof of misappropriation rather than simple cash flow mismanagement.

Staff could document payment delays and lodge formal complaints with the labour commission to press for timely wages moving forward.
