LASG Assures Labour Unions Of Commitment To Wellbeing And Welfare Of Staff—-The Honourable Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pensions, Mrs. Ajibola Ponnle, has assured labour unions of the State Government’s commitment to the wellbeing and welfare of all public servants in the State.
The Commissioner gave the assurance at the meeting of the Lagos State Public Service Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), affirming that the present administration gives priority to workers’ welfare, citing an example of Mr. Governor’s recent retrospective approval to over 3000 Officers, who acquired additional qualifications without following the laid down policy.
Ponnle said that despite the challenges of the past few months occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic and #EndSARS protest, among others, the current administration was able to perform its obligations to workers.
She commended Governor Sanwo-Olu for his prompt responses to requests by the Labour Unions and advised civil servants to improve their dedication to duty, noting that workers have to be committed to their statutory responsibilities in order to enhance service delivery to Lagosians.
The Commissioner also applauded the leadership of Labour Unions for their maturity in dealing with the government, imploring them to always see disruption of services or strikes as a last option while keeping an open mind during engagements with representatives of the government.
