The
Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa has urged the organized labour to always
disseminate appropriate information to the workers to engender industrial
harmony in the polity.
He made the call in Asaba on Wednesday while
receiving the new Executive Council members Trade Union Congress (TUC) in the
state, who visited him.
The governor told the labour leaders that if
they worked hard and made their mark, the people would recognise and appreciate
them.
He expressed his belief that for the society
to progress, ``we should have a peaceful environment in the workplace.
``There has to be a lot of partnership between
government and workers; when the partnership is real, the people will enjoy the
benefits of government.
“Organised labour should disseminate necessary
information to workers to boost the partnership between workers and the government.
“We need to re-assure Deltans and the working
class that we will do our best to uplift the standard of living and ensure
development in the state.”
Okowa assured that his administration would
pay the new minimum wage once negotiations between the Federal Government and
organized labour was finalized.
Earlier, Chairman of TUC in the state, Comrade
Martins Bolum had thanked the governor for his numerous achievements in
governance, and pledged that trade unions would help in enlightening workers on
government activities.
“The TUC is ready to help workers to get what
they deserve and also, help to disseminate government information.
``You (Okowa) are a man of the people and we
are ready to partner your administration for the people to get the best,” he
stated.
