Gov Dapo Abiodun
The Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Joint Negotiation Committee (JNC) in Ogun State have described Governor Dapo Abiodun as a compassionate leader who has the interest of workers at heart.
In separate letters of gratitude to the governor for approving the Christmas bonus for the state workforce, the two unions said the gesture is a further demonstration of Prince Abiodun’s commitment to the welfare of their members.
TUC, in a letter signed by the Chairman of the Ogun State Council, Comrade Akeem Lasisi, described the bonus payment as a gesture that will help workers overcome the present economic challenges.
“This development was not unexpected, as we are well aware of the compassionate leadership that His Excellency embodies.
“The Christmas Bonus package further reinforces the current administration’s reputation for delivering positive changes. This gesture will significantly help alleviate the daily economic hardships that our workforce and their families face. We assure you that this unexpected display of care from His Excellency will encourage our colleagues to strive for even more outstanding achievements for our beloved state.
“We sincerely appreciate the government’s efforts to maintain stability in our industrial relations.
“Please accept our heartfelt gratitude, unwavering loyalty, and support for your administration,” TUC said.
In its own letter of appreciation, JNC Chairman Comrade Olude Isa said the bonus will empower the state workers to have successful celebrations.
He said: “Beyond rhetoric, His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CON, has done it once more, putting smiles on our faces in this season of celebrating Jesus Christ. The bonus has brought to the state workforce two factors: economic empowerment and the faithful heart of inclusiveness.
“We all received the payment; confidently and joyfully, we went shopping. Also, we felt that, indeed, we are included in the overall schemes of relevant stakeholders in our dear state. Honestly, we are very grateful for the timely gesture.
“May the good tidings of Christmas be with His Excellency always. And to his amiable cabinet, the strength to bring our state to our desired greater heights will surely be bestowed on each and every one of them.
“To you, Sir, our truest, passionate leader, the rewarding spirit of His Holiness will ever remain with you and yours.”
