In a significant boost to staff welfare, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has approved a salary increase of 25% for teaching staff and 35% for non-teaching staff at Osun State University (UNIOSUN). This announcement was made during the 14th convocation ceremony of the institution, held over the weekend in Osogbo.

He emphasized that this peaceful atmosphere is not a result of oppression but good leadership across all levels of governance within the university.
The governor reaffirmed his administration's commitment to education and worker welfare, saying, “We have prioritized the development of education in Osun State, and as part of that commitment, we are implementing a 25% and 35% salary increase for teaching and non-teaching staff respectively.”
