May Day: Bauchi State Speaker Calls For Synergy Amongst Workers
The Speaker of the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Dr. Abubakar Y. Suleiman has called for synergy and collaborative efforts between labour and other relevant stakeholders to achieve the desired goals.
The Speaker made the call as the world marks International Labour Day, it is a day set to celebrate the immense contributions of workers toward the infrastructural developments, reduction of criminality and income generation through divergent employment opportunities.
“The importance of labour to the workforce can never be ignored as they serve like engine to the device, they practicalise what experts have written and build infrastructures that stand for generations to come.
The Bauchi State Government under the leadership of Senator Bala Mohammed has carved monumental impacts to the labour through the approval of minimum wage, consistent payment of salaries. Also, the renovation of Secretariat in the State capital and 20 LGAs aimed to help workers discharge their duties effectively in conducive atmospheres”. The Speaker said
Suleiman expressed the Assembly’s readiness to collaborate, pass bills and make laws that would install succor to the lives of all workers in the State. He then urged authorities to be disbursing remuneration at when due, ensure promotion of all deserving workers and process the retirement benefits on time. Moreso, the Honorable Speaker still called on workers to be punctual, dedicative and responsible in their respective places of works as Government would not tolerate absenteeism and negligible acts.
