In a show of leadership and dedication to the welfare of workers, the Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has reiterated his unwavering commitment to improving the lives of the state’s workforce. Taking to his official social media platform, X, Governor Fintiri announced that he had received a “thank you” visit from the Adamawa State Chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), led by Comrade Emmanuel Fashe, at his office.
The NLC delegation expressed their gratitude for the governor’s prompt implementation of the recently approved N70,000 minimum wage, which was paid to workers this month. This move, a significant step in alleviating the financial burdens faced by workers in the state, was met with widespread appreciation from the labor community.
Governor Fintiri emphasized his administration’s unwavering stance on matters affecting the common man, particularly the hardworking citizens who drive the state’s economy. “When it comes to issues impacting our workforce, I will not hesitate to implement policies that serve the greater good,” Fintiri stated. His message was clear: the well-being of Adamawa’s workers is non-negotiable.
Furthermore, Governor Fintiri called on the Federal Government to be more proactive in addressing the needs of Nigerians. He urged leaders at the federal level to “put on their thinking caps” and take decisive action without waiting for public outcry or protests. “People shouldn’t have to protest or cry out before we listen,” Fintiri remarked, underscoring the importance of responsive governance.
This latest development not only highlights Governor Fintiri’s commitment to his workforce but also serves as a call to action for the Federal Government to prioritize the welfare of all Nigerians.
