Ekiti State Governor, Abiodun Oyebanji, has appealed to organised labour to join the state government in championing the demand for fairness and equity in the distribution of national resources.
He said that allocations to Ekiti State are worrisome. The governor said that the abundant resources of the country ought to be properly and equitably distributed.
Oyebanji, who spoke, yesterday, during his first May Day address to workers as governor, said that his administration would continue to make determined efforts to improve workers’ conditions of service within available resources. He noted that without labour, there is no prosperity, saying that “as you are aware, labour is the driving force behind productivity.” “The tranquility being experienced in the state since the inception of this administration can be largely attributed to the collaborative disposition and pro-development approach of the organised labour.
“The labour unions have demonstrated harmonious industrial relationships by opting for meaningful dialogue in the interest of workers and the state at large. It is hoped that the labour movement in the state would continue to remain a propelling force towards the implementation of this administration’s policies and programmes.
“At this juncture, I wish to salute the workers for keeping faith with our Government. In spite of the current economic challenges where payment of salaries has become a herculean task for many, this Administration has continued to fulfill this critical obligation,” he said.
