OSUN STATE, Nigeria  —  Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has restated his commitment to the welfare of civil servants in the state.

He however vowed to give priority to initiatives that would promote better standard of living for them.

The governor made the pledged in Osogbo, while addressing workers who had trooped out to welcome him to the Secretariat, Abere, in appreciation of the implementation of the N75,000 new minimum wage.

The workers, led by the chairmen of the Trade Union Congress, Abimbola Fasasi and the Nigeria Labour Congress, Christopher Arapasopo, converged on the entrance to the Secretariat awaiting Adeleke’s arrival.

In his address, Adeleke commended the workers for their support of his administration.

He said, “To me, every worker deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. The government must fully attend to the welfare of workers, especially the bureaucracy that is the engine room of the government.

“It is a sin to neglect workers’ welfare. I affirm my passionate commitment to workers’ welfare, now and all the time. The more we have the resources, the more we will deepen our pro-workers’ programmes and policies.

“We are doing that because there is a link between Osun informal and formal workers. Until we complete the agro-industrialisation of Osun State, the civil service remains the main driver of the economy. So any care for the public service is largely a support for all Osun people.

“With your support, I will push ahead with the implementation of our five-point agenda for which workers welfare is number one. Together, we shall take Osun to greater heights,” Adeleke said.

Earlier, the NLC chairman, Arapasopo, hailed Adeleke for his landmark achievement to the welfare of workers.

Arapasopo said, “Mr Governor has made landmark achievements which touched the hearts and minds of Osun workers. We, therefore, gather here to show appreciation to Mr Governor for his uncommon care and support for workers. We are hereby declaring that come 2026, there is no vacancy in Abere Government House.

“We are satisfied with your exceptional performance, not just for workers but across all sectors in Osun State. Your good work is everywhere.

“By May Day of 2025, we will officially endorse you for a second term as a performing and responsive governor. For the re-election, we stand solidly at your back and by your side.”

Also speaking, the Osun TUC boss, Fasasi, described Adeleke as a pro-labour governor, insisting that he had the unwavering support of the unions.
