Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State and Seyi Makinde of Oyo have commended workers for their dedication to the country’s growth.

Mr Sanwo-Olu, on his Facebook page, while felicitating with workers on Workers’ Day, commended them for their hard work, dedication, and contributions to the growth and development of Lagos State and Nigeria.

He assured them of creating a more conducive environment and promoting their prosperity and welfare.

“Together, we can build a more prosperous and equitable society where every worker has the opportunity to thrive and succeed,” he said.

The governor commended the resilience and tenacity of workers in the face of unprecedented challenges, adding that with collective efforts, any obstacle would be tackled and greater heights would be achieved.

Meanwhile, Mr Makinde pledged to create more jobs and a conducive environment for businesses to strive in Oyo.

Mr Makinde, who said that the school-leaving age residents of the state needed employment, promised to create employment opportunities in his second term commencing from May 29.

He said that his administration would embark on aggressive global investment, such as renewable energy and other businesses that would create more jobs for the people of the state.

Earlier, chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the state, Kayode Martins, called for improvement in the workers’ working conditions to further encourage professionalism, dedication and commitment to their duties.
