He offered prayers for continued blessings upon the workforce and encouraged stronger collaboration between workers and the state government moving forward.

The commissioner also described Governor Adeleke as a God-fearing leader committed to ensuring that workers’ welfare remains a top priority, adding that the administration has consistently demonstrated generosity, including financial support to local governments despite political challenges.

He concluded by assuring workers that their support would not be taken for granted, reiterating the government’s commitment to prioritizing their welfare, while a representative of the Joint Negotiating Council described Governor Adeleke as “an angel in human form.”
