He said in an interview in Ibadan on January 2, 2013, Thursday that the Federal Government had started implementing the Memorandum of Understanding(MOU) reached with the Union,with this move.
"It is encouraging that the salary arrears have been paid to members, and I believe this cuts across board.

It would be recalled that signing of MoU between the two sides on December 11 , 2013, opened the way to ending the strike which was in its sixth month.
