The Chairman of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) in the state, Barrister Abdulateef Okandeji who read the communiqué said the meeting also resolved that ALGON and other stakeholders will work out modalities on "how future allocations would be disbursed while prioritizing payment of salaries of staff from hence forth".

Barr. Okandeji, who is also the Chairman of Ilorin East local government, said the meeting also reviewed state and local government finances as a result of persistent shortfall in resources and allocation.

The chairman added that Government on its part said it is "neither desirous of sacking workers nor reducing the minium wage. Government together with Labour Unions is to explore the best ways to access fund to pay the backlog of salaries arrears – October, November and December – owed the staff of the Local Government as well as Primary/Basic school teachers in the State".

Barr. Okandeji noted that the meeting appreciated that the current allocation can barely take care of few of the financial commitment of th local government which caused backlog of salaries owed the local government staff, local government pensions, primary and junior secondary school teachers.
