The Chairman, TUC, Com. Akeem Lasisi thanked God for the feat and for receiving the audience of Gov. Abiodun to yield to the demands of labour.

The labour leaders also eulogized the state governor for remembering not only the Civil Servants but also the down trodden, the vulnerable and the pensioners  in the State.

"We appreciate His Excellency for also remembering the vulnerable, less privileged and the pensioners in his palliative programmes as these would go a long way to motivate the State workers to do more for the State in the discharge of their duties", Com. Olude enthused.

The leaders jointly enjoined the state government to implement the measures without any delay.
