The message read in part: “Ogun Workers Solidarity Front commends workers all over the world, in Nigeria particularly and Ogun State especially on the occasion of the May Day 2022. with the theme “Labour Politics and Quest for Good Governance in Nigeria”
“As the nation moves towards electioneering, our vigilant workers must be wary of desperate politicians, including those who derided them in the recent past. We must not in anyway justify the abusive language of “No Brain”, which the former Governor called us at the peak of demanding for our rights.”
“There is no doubt that the present Administration of Prince Dapo Abiodun has executed; and is executing, workers friendly initiatives including continuous payment of backlog of entitlements, implementation of the minimum wage, prompt payment of pensioners, offsetting arrears of pensions owed by past Administration, carrying out promotion exercises at various levels which were delayed for years before the advent of the present government and so on; however we believe strongly that the government can do more, should do more and our galant workers should assist the government to do more.”
“Considering the theme of this year’s celebration which centers on good governance, we want to give kudos to Prince Dapo Abiodun, for the exemplary leadership he displayed during the height of coronavirus pandemic, which starved-off the virus from the shores of Ogun despite the state’s closeness to Lagos, which was the epicenter of the pandemic.”
“We commend the Governor for safety projects such as building of new fire stations, refurbishing old ones, pitches of new fire trucks along with modern fire fighting tools; and the provision of free ambulance services across the 20 local government areas.”
“As workers are enjoined to Act Together to Build a Positive Safety and Health Culture at workplaces, we also urged them to join hands with the performing Administration in its apparent commitment to the Building Our Future Together agenda”.
