Understand Your Rights, Lagos Head of Service, Okunola Tells Workers

Lagos State Head of Service, Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola has urged the State workers to understand their right as encapsulated in the Nigerian Labour Law to avoid their rights being trampled upon by employers of labour.

He assured that the present state administration would continue to meet its obligations and responsibilities as far as enforcing workers’ rights and socioeconomic justice are considered, charging all civil servants in all sectors to re-energize themselves in promoting developmental agenda of the state government in a bid to achieve a Greater Lagos.

He said “I dare say that the harmonious relationship that exists between the State Government and labour is a true reflection of the premium placed on employees’ right and social justice by this administration”.

In a similar development, the Commissioner for Establishments, Training and Pensions, Mrs. Ajibola Ponnle has said that the State Government has taken steps to uphold worker’s rights and ensure economic justice for the workers.

She added that “the State Government brings dignity to our workers through regular and prompt payment of salaries whilst we offer other entitlements. We try to build a society and social justice from the basis of our daily interactions”.
