AKURE — WORKERS in Ondo State, yesterday, endorsed the second term ambition of Governor Olusegun Mimiko, attributing this to his various worker- friendly programmes.

Under the aegis of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress,TUC, the workers lauded the life- transforming programmes of the governor which they said had benefited not only workers but the masses in the state.

Speaking at this year’s Workers’ Day celebration in Akure,  two labour congresses led by Bosede Daramola of NLC and Ekundayo of TUC, said they would support the governor for a second term.

They lauded the governor for approving and paying N22,000 minimum wage for workers.

The TUC chairman in his address said the government had not done badly in other areas of workers welfare including good work environment, work safety, training and retraining and other things.

Mimiko, in his speech, assured the workers of more friendly programmes, promising that the administration would not retrench workers as he urged them to rededicate themselves for efficient service.
