From Biodun Esan, Ilorin
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State has commended Nigerian workers for powering the nation’s economy and shaping society’s future.
The Governor gave the commendation in a message sent to the Kwara workers to commemorate the 2025 Workers’ Day on Thursday in Ilorin,
“For us in Kwara State, we appreciate the immense contributions of our workers, whether as civil servants, farmers, factory workers, teachers, healthcare personnel, engineers, artisans, and professionals across all sectors.
“Their dedication, resilience, and skills are the pillars of our growth and development.
“I reaffirm our administration’s commitment to building a Kwara where workers thrive, where decent jobs are created, where careers are continually nurtured, and where every sector is empowered to contribute meaningfully to the state’s prosperity.
“We are determined to implement policies that strengthen our civil service, grow the economy, attract investments, and expand job opportunities.
Through targeted infrastructural and socioeconomic initiatives, our administration has maintained financial stability, ensured timely salary payments, supported entrepreneurship, and provided social safety nets.
“These actions reflect our commitment to responsible governance and sustainable development,” AbdulRazaq said.
According to him, there is a need to adapt as the world of work evolves, driven by technology, automation, and artificial intelligence.
“That thinking is at the heart of our numerous initiatives: Innovation Hub, Visual Arts Centre, ICT centres, among others.
“It is crucial that we embrace change, promote excellence, and prepare ourselves not just for the jobs of today but for the opportunities of tomorrow,” the Governor added.
He extended heartfelt appreciation to all workers for the vital role they have played in his administration’s shared achievements, and commended the labour leaders for their support and partnership.
“I wish everyone a fulfilling and inspiring Workers’ Day celebration,” Gov AbdulRazaq said.
