Rep Tolulope Akande-Sadipe has said that she was committed to legislative actions that would protect workers\u2019 rights and guarantee appropriate reward for their labour.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Akande-Sadipe said this on Monday in Abuja in her goodwill message to Nigerian workers as they joined their colleagues worldwide to mark Workers Day.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe remember the sacrifices made by Nigerian workers and advocate their welfare, we must recognise the importance of creating a conducive working environment that promotes productivity, job security, and fair compensation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can build a more prosperous and equitable society for all\u2026 as we mark this day, it is essential to reflect on the challenges faced by the Nigerian workers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite their significant contributions to the country, workers often work under harsh and unfavorable conditions, with little or no job security, and inadequate compensation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She said it was unfortunate that many Nigerian workers had lost their jobs due to the harsh economic realities.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cSome have lost their lives, some their mobility due to various job related disabilities and poor working conditions, resulting in increased hardship and suffering for families across the nation,\u201d Akande-Sadipe said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She said it was important for the incoming Sen. Bola Tinubu administration to partner the 10th National Assembly to provide the right atmosphere for Nigerian workers whom she described as being resilient.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of the Nigerian workers who have tirelessly, against all odds, had to develop the economy of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThis day is a time to appreciate the efforts of workers who have made countless unimaginable sacrifices through trials and toils to ensure that our society functions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the incoming government of President-elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership of the 10th Assembly, the welfare of the Nigerian workers will be a priority.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cLaws to encourage improved and adequate compensation, job security and better working conditions will be priority, \u201d the legislator said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
